lucy sugerman - native tongue lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i wanna know you, i wanna see
the child that you were playing ball on the street
and i wish that i could talk to your friends
get all the jokes, they all laugh, i’m not dumb

[pre+chorus]
you grew up thousands of miles away
with rivers and mountains and boats by the bay
and i live without ever having a change
so to me, it all sounds the same

[chorus]
we’ll go out dancing, stay out ’til the sun
when you grab my hand, i don’t care where you’re from
there’s no divide in our conversation
while i pretend, i could be the one
but i’ll never know who you are in your native tongue

[verse 2]
losing translation whilе we’re losing sleep
you say you’re way funniеr when you speak
in your first language, it’s hard to believe

[pre+chorus]
i grew up thousands of miles away
take it for granted, you’re desperate to stay
’cause i live without ever having a change
so can we ever be the same?
[chorus]
we’ll go out dancing, stay out ’til the sun
when you grab my hand, i don’t care where you’re from
there’s no divide in our conversation
while you pretend, i could be the one
but i’ll never know who you are

[bridge]
i try to learn and i’m stumblin’ through thank you’s and sorry
but what do you mean?
and i feel the privilege an english speaker in a world against what you could be
it’s not fair for you as a lover
i don’t know what you say when you talk to your mother

[outro]
i’ll never know who you are in your native tongue
i’ll never know who you are in your native tongue
