"Can't Wait to Be Understood"

So I stopped by your home -
Cuz I can't get you on the phone
And you're mother's telling me I'm up to no good

But all you had to do was call
And I don't really mind at all
Cuz you know I can't wait to be understood

Now when I look at you at school
You turn away like I'm a fool
And I get so tired of feeling so alone

And I hope you'll soon realize
And open up your cloudy eyes
When you see I can't wait to be understood

(bridge)

My faith is running out in beauty in this world
It truly mystifies
Oh, just a heavenly sign, a perfect rhyme will do
For me to know it's not just in my mind
And that there's been other times...

So you can push me away
And just like any other day
I'll come crawling back to you like you know I would

And I would like to say I've changed
But it will always be the same:
And you know I can't wait to be understood
