Understand
Rec Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We understand punk rock, we understand love
And when your`re alone I`m alone and that`s how it is
We like the same movies, we like the same songs
We try to play harder, we try to get along
With the world and it`s a strange world
and that`s how it is
So come dear friend, come
We`ll save that special song
To the end when we`ll be stoned
