    Story Behind the Song
    This song started out as a poem that Ben's ex-girlfriend Alicia wrote. For her birthday, he decided that it would be cool to turn it into a song, so he enlisted Murphy's help. Together, they put together a song with an amazingly poppy sound, initiated by the opening whistle, and punctuated by the "You may understand!" that ends the chorus. That poppiness got even better when bass and drums were added. Although the music didn't exactly fit the mood that the poem was originally written in (Alicia meant it to be a more sad piece, but Ben interpreted it as happy), it managed to quickly become one of The Gravity's biggest hits.

    Lyrics
    One thousand superballs bouncing in my mind...
    You just wouldn't understand.

    I look up, see geese flying upside down and backwards...
    I told you it's hard to understand.

    I sleep with my head at the foot of my bed,
    Shower with my clothes on.
    You just can't understand;
    Don't bother...

    CHORUS
    But when I listen to a love ballad,
    There is no more dancing.
    Tears roll down my face,
    Angels fall.
    I think, I suppose
    You may understand.

    When I read the letters grow arms and legs...
    Don't try to understand me.

    They grab hands, dance a waltz...
    It's hard to understand.

    I sleep with my head at the foot of my bed,
    Shower with my clothes on.
    You just can't understand;
    Don't bother...

    CHORUS

    I rest all day, sleep escapes me at night.
    (sleep escapes me at night)
    I stay up writing long loud heavy metal sonnets
    Till the sun rises, but the light doesn't shine.
    (no cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo)
    I won't let you understand this.

    CHORUS
