I think that this song is a song about God and Jesus. How we can go back and forth but always come back. First paragraph. Sometimes it is embarrassing to talk to God about your mistakes. Only God can see through the masks of our outer selves we try to hide behind. Most people feel disgraceful when they know he knows what we've done. Second Paragraph. God is always there for us no matter what. He sees the good in all of us and forgives us. When we get closer to God, we get more confident in ourselves and everything we do. God and Jesus is really all we do need. Chorus #1. God always looks into our lives. He never stops. He goes through all our thoughts, and sees what we're thinking, our deepest wants, wishes, goals, and desires. He knows the things we want, he always understands us. Next paragraph. Sometimes we want to get away from Him. Usually because we've done something that we think is unforgivable, even though it is forgivable. We never can get away from Him though, he is always there for us, He loves us like a parent, and a lot of people try to find they're place in this world by getting away from their parents. Chorus #2. God understands every aspect of ourselves. He knows us better than even we do. He loves us despite all of our faults. Next paragraph. Sometimes when we think of God, we can't think of words to express our gratitude. We think of good things, and all those good things are already his. At times our faith will dwindle, but we come back (outlined me again.) He patiently and lovingly waits for all of us. Third Chorus. The teachings of God have broken through his defense and he is embracing the gospel of Christ. Thanks for reading this. I guess I just felt a little bit deep at the moment.

there is so much musical genious in this song.... i love how relient k can summarize seemingly everything God feels for you in one song, and make it sound friggin gorgeous too..... this is one of my favorite songs on this album. "You looked into my life and never stopped, And you're thinkin all my thoughts Are so simple, Yet so beautiful..." ^ * sigh *

First off, I'm pretty sure this song is called I Am Understood...not Am I Understood?. I guess this song is basically about how no matter how much he messes up God is always there for him and always forgives him. I love this song

This song is amazing. "And you recite my words right back to me, before i even speak"...that's amazing and so true. "And sometimes when I find myself at a loss for words...cause if I think of something worthy, I know that it's already yours". The lyrics are just phenominal and the song performed live is INCREDIBLE. I get chills thinking about it!

"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" I think this is saying that we are not worthy of anything that God has given us. And God wants us to know that, so we will realize how mush we need Him and His grace. We have to understand that nothing we do changes how God looks at us, God will not reject you if you sin, and we cannot say that we have do anything worthy because its already Gods. Trust in God, not in yourself.

"...and through the times i've faded and you've outlined me again you've just patiently waited, to bring me back and then..." that is probably my favorite part of this whole song. to me, its me constantly swaying of the path and doing my own things, fading away. He is always there to "outline" me and bring me back to the right way. He's so patient with me. If i were him, i would have given up a long time ago. man, God is awesome isnt he?

this song is absolutely wonderful! Relient K's more serious songs always have a way of putting what you feel into words when you're not able to do it yourself. especially this song. its great.

this song is about how much God understands and loves everyone, even though humankind is stupid.

This is one of the most amazing songs I know, it is about how you do stupid stuff, but God is there, and He heals, completely.

This song is why i love Relient K. Great song writers, great music, and this song is probably my favorite. My favorite verse would be "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" Simply amazing.
