Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am I askin' all these questions for nothin'?
I'm wondering if anyone's there
And I really need to make a confession
I hate to say that I'm a little bit scared, yeah
[Verse 2]
But I been on this train too long, people gettin' off and on
Prayin' that I don't forget where I belong
And every time I ask myself am I turnin' into someone else?
I'm praying that I don't forget just who I am
[Verse 3]
I really wanna understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
I just wanna understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
[Verse 4]
I'm callin' all my friends after midnight, yeah
To remind them that I'll always be there for them
It gets lonely when there's no one to talk to
But it's good to know that somebody cares
[Verse 5]
'Cause I been on this train too long, people gettin' off and on
I'm prayin' that I don't forget where I belong
And every time I ask myself am I turnin' into someone else?
I'm prayin' that I don't forget just who I am
[Verse 6]
I really wanna understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
I just wanna understand, yeah (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Oh yeah
[Verse 7]
'Cause we all get lost sometimes (Yeah, now)
Yeah, we all get lost sometimes
Well, don't leave your heart behind (No, yeah)
'Cause we all get lost sometimes
[Verse 8]
I really wanna understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
I just gotta understand, yeah (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Now I just need to, I need to understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
I really wanna understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Oh yeah
[Verse 9]
When you wake up your whole world's flipped, it's just different
And you gotta, you know, you gotta, you gotta go with it
And that's just simply growing up and not see it in a negative way
You have to see it as it's been given to you, I mean
As much as time's can be crazy you're gonna feel like that's where
You're supposed to be, you're not gonna feel outta place anymore
You're gonna feel like that's where you were meant to be
[Verse 10]
You don't have to pretend that it's easy all the time
You just let it go and, and grow with it and you can't hold on
To the old you or the old this, or the old that because you know
You change and it's not changing in a bad way, it's just changing
Because that's what happens in life, you grow up, everyone moves on
You're just learning, you stay true to yourself
[Verse 11]
Changing isn't a bad thing, it never was, but at the end of the day
You know you're the same person and, and where your heart is
That doesn't change
[Verse 12]
And every time I ask myself am I turnin' into someone else?
And I just pray to God that I'm still who I am
I really wanna understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
I just gotta understand, yeah (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Now I just need to, I need to understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
I really wanna understand (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Oh yeah
