Holly Palmer - Different Languages Lyrics
So I'm trying to learn Italian and you're lying next to meThe neighbor dog is howlingIt was really satisfyingNot to see you last nightYou had all sixteen excuses lined up in a rowLike blanks on the belt of a GI JoeIt's really mystifying all this trying and tryingAnd then you asked if I was coming outAnd I said no and you said that's okayI just wanted to know, then you saidI guess I'll see you later onOn the edge of the bedAnd I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bowIt's alright, we're speaking different languages nowNow the mockingbirds are singingThey're bringing up the sun and I'm thinkingMaybe that's what's cool about itWe've been trying to hold each other like a conversationYou said that maybe I wasn't lookingBut I recognize the sounds just like youBut I can't form the words or they're too hard to spellAnd your head is buried in the dictionaryAnd I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bowIt's alright, we're speaking different languages nowSmoothing your hair from your drunken browIt's alright, we're speaking different languages nowAll I know is, a couple of days go by and I can't even read your lipsThings were fine the other dayAnd I said, well baby if you knew whyI bet you wouldn't feel this wayAnd you said, one hand on your heart, one hand on my headDon't fall off the edge of the bedAnd we just laughedAnd I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bowIt's alright, we're speaking different languages nowSmoothing your hair from your drunken browIt's alright, we're speaking different languages now
