Native Tongue Lyrics - Paramore

1 How can they say

2 That it's one way

3 When it's the opposite?

4 And how can they know

5 The end of the story

6 before I tell it?

7 'Cause when I walk,

8 Your feet, they fall

9 To the same beat

10 Or maybe we're from two different worlds

11 But we got our own language!

12 We talk to people

13 But they never understand!

14 They think we're crazy

15 'Cause it sounds like noise

16 When we're speaking in our native

17 Speaking in our native tongue!

18 We're speaking in our native

19 Speaking in our native tongue!

20 We used to live

21 Like we were strangers

22 We didn't know any better!

23 We didn't fit

24 In with the out crowd

25 So we gave in

26 And we shut our mouths!

27 But oh I love your history

28 And I can take it!

29 And when you talk in code to me

30 I can translate it!

31 We talk to people

32 But they never understand!

33 They think we're crazy

34 'Cause it sounds like noise to them

35 Ain't it strange

36 All the things you hear

37 When you sit

38 And listen?

39 We're speaking in our native

40 Speaking in our native tongue!

41 We're speaking in our native

42 Speaking in our native tongue!

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

44 Just wasting my words on everyone else!

45 Now speaking in my native,

46 Speaking in my native tongue!

47 So come on,

48 Talk it out!

49 So come on,

50 Talk it out!

51 So come on,

52 And talk talk talk talk -

53 Talk it out

54 (Your voice, it brought me back from the dead, somehow)

55 So come on and

56 Talk talk talk talk talk

57 Talk it out!

58 OUT!

59 OUT!

60 OUT!

61 Speaking in our native,

62 Speaking in our native tongue!

63 We're speaking in our native,

64 Speaking in our native tongue!

65 (You know we speak in my native aoohh)

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

67 Just wasting my words on everyone else!

68 (You know we speak in my native aoohh)

69 Now speaking in my native,

70 Speaking in my native tongue!
