[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?
