lyrics

I think I understand
But what good is that?
I wish I could turn it down
Could turn it off
The more I understand, the less I feel
If I could change my mind,
I’d wipe it clear
The more I understand, the less I dream
The less I see, the less I see

A hole in the sand used to be all I need
I saw a wink in everything
My tiny triumphs seemed impossible feats
And I was never afraid to reach, afraid to reach
The more I understand, the less I feel
If I could change my mind, I’d wipe it clear
The more I understand the less I dream
The less I see, the less I see

Nothing ever means what you think it means anyway
Nothing ever means what you think it means anyway
