Um... I Don't Know What to Call This One...

Sometimes it's embarassing to talk to You
To hold a conversation with the only One who sees right through
This version of myself I try to hide behind
I'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified

And sometimes I'm so thankful for Your loyalty
Your love regardless of the mistakes I make will spoil me
My confidence is in a sense a gift You've given me
And I'm satisfied to realise You're all I'll ever need

You looked into my life and never stopped
And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know I am understood

And sometimes I spend my time just trying to escape
I work so hard, so desperately, in an attempt to create space
'Cause I want distance from the utmost important thing I know
I see Your love, then turn my back, and beg for You to go

You looked into my life and never stopped
And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know I am understood

You're the only one who understands completely
You're the only one who knows me yet still loves completely

And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words
If I think of something worthy, I know that it's already Yours
And through the times I've faded and You've outlined me again
You've just patiently waited to bring me back and then

You looked into my life and never stopped
And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know I am understood

("I Am Understood?" Relient K)

It's something else to hear a song that you loved in high school... and realize you feel the same exact way 8 years later.
