Different Languages — текст песни (Holly Palmer)

So I`m trying to learn Italian and you`re lying next to me
The neighbor dog is howling
It was really satisfying
Not to see you last night
You had all sixteen excuses lined up in a row
Like blanks on the belt of a GI Joe
It`s really mystifying all this trying and trying

And then you asked if I was coming out
And I said no and you said that`s okay
I just wanted to know, then you said
I guess I`ll see you later on
On the edge of the bed

And I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bow
It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now

Now the mockingbirds are singing
They`re bringing up the sun and I`m thinking
Maybe that`s what`s cool about it
We`ve been trying to hold each other like a conversation

You said that maybe I wasn`t looking
But I recognize the sounds just like you
But I can`t form the words or they`re too hard to spell
And your head is buried in the dictionary

And I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bow
It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now
Smoothing your hair from your drunken brow
It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now

All I know is, a couple of days go by and I can`t even read your lips

Things were fine the other day
And I said, well baby if you knew why
I bet you wouldn`t feel this way
And you said, one hand on your heart, one hand on my head
Don`t fall off the edge of the bed
And we just laughed

And I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bow
It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now
Smoothing your hair from your drunken brow
It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now
