Native tongue — Paramore

Verse

How can they say there is 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

Refrain 1: We talk to people but they never understand They think we're crazy cause it sounds like laws

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

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

Refrain 2: We talk to people but they never understand They think we're crazy cause it sounds like laws Ain't it strange all the things you hear when you sit and listen?

Chorus

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 woes on everyone else Now they're 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 talk talk talk talk talk talk it out your voice that brought me back from the dead So come on talk talk talk talk talk talk it out out out out

Chorus

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 woes on everyone else Now they're speaking in my native Speaking in my native tongue
