Native Tongue

Paramore

6

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 took to people,

but they never understand!

They think we're crazy

'cause it sounds like laws

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 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 took to people,

but they never understand!

They think we're crazy

'cause it sounds like laws 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!

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 speaking in my native,

speaking in my native tongue!

So come on,

talk it out!

So come on,

Talk it out!

Some come on

and talk talk talk talk talk -

talk it out!

Your voice, it'd probably be back from the dead

so come on and

talk talk talk talk talk

talk it out!

OUT!

OUT!

OUT!

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,

(You know we speak in the hole this time)

just wasting my woes on everyone else!

(You know we're speaking the same language now)

Now speaking in my native,

speaking in my native tongue!
