Paramore – Native Tongue – Lyrics

Native Tongue by Paramore

How can they say there is 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

When 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 out 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 with 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 words 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, talk it out

Your voice has brought me back from the dead

So come and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk it out, out 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 words on everyone else

Now they're speaking in my native

Speaking in my native tongue
