I Understand It

Idlewild · Scottish Fiction: Best of Idlewild 1997-2007 [2007]

Mountains wouldn't part for me

They have no uncertainty

I'm just a passing emotion

Just hoping they take notice

And you are an opportunity

Without an opportunity

Another passing emotion

In hope that someone will take notice



And did I hear you sing

That we exist without existing

Or did I hear you sing

That we'll land where we begin



I understand it

But I don't show it

So I won't think it

And maybe we'll be there

Maybe we will be there



I understand it

But I don't show it

So I won't think it

And maybe we'll be there

Maybe one day we will be there



I thought I heard you saying

That I must be dissappearing

But I'm sure I heard you sing

We won't begin



I understand it

But I don't show it

So I won't think it

And maybe we'll be there

Maybe we will be there



I understand it

But I don't show it

So I won't think it

And maybe we'll be there

Maybe one day we will be there



To have no sense of emptiness

Well, you try a little harder

To have no sense in emptiness

Well, you try, try, try a little harder
