[Verse 1]

I'll take the blame if you drop me out

I got your missed call I'm sorry forgot to shout

It's like whenever you come around I'm not about

That ain't even shocking how about we wait and reconvene

I hate deleted scenes but the time I take away

Is kinda making me believe enables me to breathe

One day I'll reach my peak

And say at least I'll lead my family to reap the seeds

I could easily concede

But I'm sewing in advance

But these days I'm noticing demands that I can't meet

But I'm too broke to miss a chance

I'm closed off can't see me opening my arms

Or sing and dance she's in a trance

Thinking while I focus on despair

About relationships too broken to repair

I told her wait a bit and I know this isn't fair

But my mind is elsewhere so it's helpless when I'm there


[Chorus]

Understand me understand you

Look I know we're family but it's brand new

Stuff like this takes a minute or two

But we should talk too

Understand you understand me

No we didn't plan to but we can leave

There's no one that this affects in the grand scheme

And scene


[Verse 2]

Never a game of first past the post

Though it's times like these that hurt hearts the most

First glance it seems we take the first chance to flee

And throw in the last word and last laugh for free

Mask half our feelings in the process

Can't help but feeling kind of hopeless

When we miss half the meaning in the moment

But still we keep it flowing to keep on making progress

Gotta keep on living no less so we can grow more

Keep seeking knowledge and let it snowball

And even through the snowfall we know we're keeping so warm

So any doubt creeping in is no doubt no more

Don't shout don't roar just listen to the silence

Folks out there just interested in violence

Disconnect from science and turn off the phone

Only then will we find our way home


[Chorus]

Understand me understand you

Look I know we're family but it's brand new

Stuff like this takes a minute or two

But we should talk too

Understand you understand me

No we didn't plan to but we can leave

There's no one that this affects in the grand scheme

And scene


[Outro]

I hope you understand me

Why don't you understand?

Understand me

Why can't you understand?

I hope you understand me

Why don't you understand?

Understand em

Why can't you understand?
