Backstory:
Peter Bliss had the line "I finally understand" running through his mind when we sat down to write and he was hearing that line sung the way it is on the demo - with a power ballad/rock feel. We fleshed out a full song that day but later that night, as I read over it, I felt that it didn't make sense. Wasn't clear what she "didn't understand." Worked on rewriting parts of the lyrics and sent them to Peter and he liked them so we recorded two versions. This is what he refers to as the "country" one. Brooke Moriber on vocals.
Lyrics:
I Finally Understand
I’ve been piecing it together
And I’ve got it figured out
What’s been going on between us
What our love is all about
After all this trying
After all these tears - it’s goodbye
CH
I finally understand
You ain't making any plans
Thinking ‘bout a wedding band
Never gonna take my hand
Oh, I finally understand…
You’ve been dodging conversation
Dancing round the truth
Once were my salvation
Now I’ll be dammed if “I do"
Never there to catch me
Right before I fall, that is all
CH
I finally understand
You ain't making any plans
Thinking ‘bout a wedding band
Never gonna take my hand
I finally understand…
Can’t say I didn’t give it
Everything I’ve got
Can’t say I’ll ever blame myself
For giving love a shot - giving love a shot
CH
I finally understand
You ain't making any plans
Thinking ‘bout a wedding band
Never gonna take my hand
Yes I finally understand…
I finally understand
I finally understand
I had to let you go... had to let you go
