Lyrics

Understand

[Chorus: Josh A]

They don't understand me

I've been on my own now

Don't know what they can't see

On a lonely road I know now

'stand me

I've been on my own now

Don't know what they can't see

On a lonely road I know now now

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road for too long now

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road for too long now

[Verse 1: Josh A]

Ya

Shout out all my friends

So I can make brand new hits

It's just me myself and I these days

I try to reminisce

Used to be the laughing stock

I guess that those investments flourished

I see the way they changed

When I blew up the calls all pour in

Too many lonely nights

Making music all the time

This is my life

Don't really know much else

Never doubted myself

I don't mean to boast

But the music grow

The path that I chose

Is better than most

I could've been young and dumb

But I had these goals

Applied myself that's how it goes

[Pre-Chorus: Josh A, Jake Hill]

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road for too long now

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road

[Chorus: Josh A]

They don't understand me

I've been on my own now

Don't know what they can't see

On a lonely road I know now

'stand me

I've been on my own now

Don't know what they can't see

On a lonely road I know now now

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road for too long now

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road for too long now

[Verse 2: Jake Hill]

Don't take it personal

If I don't reply

I'm busy lost

In these deep nights

I've seen the drift

In my space ship

In the cosmos

On a day trip

I waste time so blissfully

My destination a mystery

Traverse through this universe

Don't wanna return to Earth

My serenity and solitude

It puts me in a calmer mood

Don't bother me when I'm inside my zone

And I won't bother you

I'm better off without approval

Don't need you to set me straight

Don't tell me that you miss me

'cause you never knew me anyway

[Pre-Chorus: Josh A, Jake Hill]

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road for too long now

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road

[Chorus: Josh A]

They don't understand me

I've been on my own now

Don't know what they can't see

On a lonely road I know now

'stand me

I've been on my own now

Don't know what they can't see

On a lonely road I know now now

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road for too long now

I've been on my own for too long now

I've been on this road for too long now
