lyrics

I have never been that good with grammar
All my inclinations are wrong
I mistranslate and I stammer
I come on too strong, never quite belong
But when she tongues those pretty questions
I'm flung into a past dimension
No pretension
Just declensions
I can finally decipher in song

This syntax is so sweet
Semantic placement so discreet
No one else would know but me
She speaks to me in
She speaks to me in

Dead
Dead languages
Oh
Dead
Dead languages
Whoo
She says this feeling's not a phase
Jut discovered like some turn of phrase in one of those
Dead
Dead languages
Dead languages

She's such a gymnast with that mouth
I finally get what all the love songs on the radio are about
She knows all the connotations of all the little things I'm saying
With her eyes inaudibly
Phonology of the
Of the body

This syntax is so sweet
Semantic placement so discreet
No one else would know but me
She speaks to me in
She speaks to me in

Dead
Dead languages
Oh
Dead
Dead languages
Whoa
She says this feeling's not a phase
Just discovered like a turn of phrase in one of those
Dead
Dead languages
Dead languages
