"Understanding in a Car Crash" is a song by American emo band Thursday. It is set as the second track on the group's second album Full Collapse and was released as their very first single. It was chosen for release as a single by Victory Records during the band's 2002 tour with Saves the Day without the band's consent. "Understanding" also has a music video which aired on MTV2 in early 2002. It consists primarily of band performance. The song is a staple of Thursday's live shows, usually played together with "The Other Side of the Crash/Over and Out (Of Control)," a song from the 2006 album, A City by the Light Divided, that tells the other side of the same story.
