Native Tongue

[Verse 1]

How can they say that it's one way

When it's the opposite?

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

[Pre-Chorus]

We talk to people, but they never understand

They think we're crazy 'cause it sounds like noise

[Chorus]

When we're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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?

[Chorus]

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 I'm speaking in my native

Speaking in my native tongue

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue (You know I speak in my native)

And all this time, I've been wasting my breath

Just wasting my words on everyone else (You know I speak in my native)

Now I'm speaking in my native

Speaking in my native tongue
