Paramore - Native Tongue Lyrics

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've 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, 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?

When 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 speaking in my native
Speaking in my native tongue

So come on talk it out
So come on talk it out
So come on and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Talk it out (Your voice, it brought me
Back from the dead, somehow)
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
Just wasting my words on everyone else
I'm speaking in my native
Speaking in my native tongue
