Native Tongue Songtext / Lyric

How can they say that it's one way when it's the opposite?

And how can they know the end of the story before I tell it?

'Cause when I walk your feet, they fall to the same beat

Or maybe we're from two different worlds, but we got our own language



We talk to people but they never understand

They think we're crazy 'cause it sounds like noise to them

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue



We used to live like we were strangers we didn't know any better

We didn't fit in with the outer crowd so we gave in and we shut our mouths

But oh how I love your history and I can take it

And when you talk in code to me I can translate it






We talk to people but they never understand

They think we're crazy 'cause it sounds like noise to them

Ain't it strange all the things you hear when you sit and listen?

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue



And all this time I've been wasting my breath

Just wasting my woes on everyone else

Now they're speaking in my native

Speaking in my native tongue



So come on, talk it out

So come on

Talk it out

So come on, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk it out

(Your voice brought me back from the dead somehow)



So come on, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk it out

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

And all this time I've been wasting my breath

Just wasting my woes on everyone else

Now they're speaking in my native

Speaking in my native tongue
