Different Languages lyrics

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
