Please Understand Me
Well I never did catch the perfect wave
Could have joined the Army, but I wasn't that brave
Should have learnt to organise my notes on a stave
When I write my songs
Well you know I played, but I never scored a try
I learnt to drive, but I never learnt to fly
Please understand me, when I ask how am I
To right my wrongs
Please forgive me
I'm just a boy in the body of a man
Please forgive me
I do the best that I can
Well I went to school, but I didn't make the grade
All I have to show now is the list of mistakes that I made
Well I could have got a job, if I wasn't so afraid
Please forgive me, I do it all the time
And now I look around and I wonder who I am
I'm not that guy that rocked Van Mildert Jam
I'm not the man who once had a plan
Please forgive me, and try to understand
I had the world in the palm of my hand
But I was flying high, and I had to crashland
My head got kinda buried in the sand
Please understand me
Please forgive me
Well I never did catch the perfect wave
Could have joined the Army, but I wasn't that brave
I'm gonna carry my mistakes until the grave
You bet I am
Please understand me
Please understand me
Please forgive me
I do the best that I can
Could have joined the Army, but I wasn't that brave
Should have learnt to organise my notes on a stave
When I write my songs
Well you know I played, but I never scored a try
I learnt to drive, but I never learnt to fly
Please understand me, when I ask how am I
To right my wrongs
Please forgive me
I'm just a boy in the body of a man
Please forgive me
I do the best that I can
Well I went to school, but I didn't make the grade
All I have to show now is the list of mistakes that I made
Well I could have got a job, if I wasn't so afraid
Please forgive me, I do it all the time
And now I look around and I wonder who I am
I'm not that guy that rocked Van Mildert Jam
I'm not the man who once had a plan
Please forgive me, and try to understand
I had the world in the palm of my hand
But I was flying high, and I had to crashland
My head got kinda buried in the sand
Please understand me
Please forgive me
Well I never did catch the perfect wave
Could have joined the Army, but I wasn't that brave
I'm gonna carry my mistakes until the grave
You bet I am
Please understand me
Please understand me
Please forgive me
I do the best that I can
