So Im trying to learn Italian and youre 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 Its really mystifying all this trying and trying And then you asked if I was coming out And I said no and you said thats okay I just wanted to know, then you said I guess Ill see you later on On the edge of the bed And I say rockabye my sweet upon your broken bow Its alright, were speaking different languages now Now the mockingbirds are singing Theyre bringing up the sun and Im thinking Maybe thats whats cool about it Weve been trying to hold each other like a conversation You said that maybe I wasnt looking But I recognize the sounds just like you But I cant form the words or theyre too hard to spell And your head is buried in the dictionary And I say rockabye my sweet upon your broken bow Its alright, were speaking different languages now Smoothing your hair from your drunken brow Its alright, were speaking different languages now All I know is, a couple of days go by and I cant even read your lips Things were fine the other day And I said, well baby if you knew why I bet you wouldnt feel this way And you said, one hand on your heart, one hand on my head Dont fall off the edge of the bed And we just laughed And I say rockabye my sweet upon your broken bow Its alright, were speaking different languages now Smoothing your hair from your drunken brow Its alright, were speaking different languages now
