[Verse 1]
When I touched you, I felt the current of your dare
I think you wanted me to feel it
Because you know we're the same
Two shades of good paint all spread thin by the vision
Blended so the hands resist him
Keeping his dare away
[Verse 2]
He comes adorned in vacancy and staring blankly
Your nails tapping on the dry cell
I'm imagining they’re weapons
Breaking the glass letting the fates capitulate
From this side I will always understand
The way that you protect him
[Chorus]
I will always understand
The way that you protect him
I will always understand
The way that you protect him
[Bridge]
I can't stop crossing the line and you can't stop trying to keep me on the other side
If only you could read my mind
I can't stop crossing the line and you can't stop trying to keep me on the other side
If only you could read my mind
[Chorus]
I will always understand
The way that you protect him
I will always understand
The way that you protect him
I will always understand
The way that you protect him
I will always understand
The way that you protect him
I will always understand
The way that you protect him
