<br>So I`m trying to learn Italian and you`re lying next to me <br>The neighbor dog is howling <br>It was really satisfying <br>Not to see you last night <br>You had all sixteen excuses lined up in a row <br>Like blanks on the belt of a GI Joe <br>It`s really mystifying all this trying and trying <br><br>And then you asked if I was coming out <br>And I said no and you said that`s okay <br>I just wanted to know, then you said <br>I guess I`ll see you later on <br>On the edge of the bed <br><br>And I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bow <br>It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now <br><br>Now the mockingbirds are singing <br>They`re bringing up the sun and I`m thinking <br>Maybe that`s what`s cool about it <br>We`ve been trying to hold each other like a conversation <br><br>You said that maybe I wasn`t looking <br>But I recognize the sounds just like you <br>But I can`t form the words or they`re too hard to spell <br>And your head is buried in the dictionary <br><br>And I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bow <br>It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now <br>Smoothing your hair from your drunken brow <br>It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now <br><br>All I know is, a couple of days go by and I can`t even read your lips <br><br>Things were fine the other day <br>And I said, well baby if you knew why <br>I bet you wouldn`t feel this way <br>And you said, one hand on your heart, one hand on my head <br>Don`t fall off the edge of the bed <br>And we just laughed <br><br>And I say rock-a-bye my sweet upon your broken bow <br>It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now <br>Smoothing your hair from your drunken brow <br>It`s alright, we`re speaking different languages now
