Understood

(album: Motherwell - 2020)

I'll visit my family
To give muscle memory a break
Cause I've been learning since I was a baby
To take on their pain

I'll visit my family
In living rooms that don't get cold
Cause blankets and body heat can't be compared
When it only took you a week to grow old

Love can be understood
I'm sick of attachments I recently learned
I can't relax, and I'm scared of myself
I'm scared for my health
Tell me you'll take me back home

Old friends are precious
But once, all your old friends were new
It takes years of tense shoulders
When growing a person into something that you're used to

I'm sick of the feeling
That nothing will ever stand still
I wish I could stop

Love can be understood
I'm sick of attachments I recently learned
I can't relax, and I'm scared of myself
I'm scared for my health
Tell me you'll take me back home

When I get sad, I go back to my grandmother's house
And picture my mother putting on her wedding dress
Posing beside the same couch
That I am lying on
It helps to remember I took generations to make

Love can be understood
I'm sick of attachments I recently learned
I can't relax, and I'm scared of myself
I'm scared for my health
Tell me you'll take me back home

Love can be understood
I'm sick of attachments I recently learned
I can't relax, and I'm scared of myself
I'm scared for my health
Tell me you'll take me back home
