about

A song about the hurt of misunderstanding and being misunderstood.

lyrics

Tongue-tied, being quiet a lot.
Building up pressure, pretending there's not
an ocean between us - did I ask can you swim?
I have lost myself often, I will do it again.

Like I knew I would. Like I tend to do.
What is it you like? I could like that, too.

We are two different mouths speaking different languages,
our hurt built on words that the other can't understand.
To hold me can't fix it, though you try every night.
I am speaking in tongues, you will put up a fight.

Like we thought it was, like we thought we knew.
Before you and I could be me and you.

All anyone ever needed to give me
was a song that I could read into.
Listen on repeat, crying "what could this mean?"
Turns out you only liked it for the tempo.
