Different Languages Lyrics - Singles - Holly Palmer

So I'm trying to learn Italian 

And you're lying next to me 

And the neighbor dog is howling 

Well, it was really satisfying not to see you last night 

Well, you had all sixteen excuses lined up in a row 

Like blanks on the belt of a GI Joe 

It's a really mystifying all this trying and trying 

And then you asked if I was coming out 

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 in 

Different languages now, alright 

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 

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 in 

Different languages now 

Smoothen your hair back 

From your drunken brow, oh baby 

It's alright, we're speaking in 

Different languages now, alright 

Well, all I know is that a couple of days go by 

And I can't even read your lips, no, no 

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, sugar 

And we just laughed 

And I say rock-a-bye 

My sweet upon your broken bow 

It's alright, we're speaking in 

Different languages now 

Smoothen your hair back 

From your drunken brow 

It's alright, we're speaking in 

Different languages any how, alright 

Yeah 

Alright
