Fresh and born in a world
His own is different from the rest
Born the first of three
Never took the lead
Parents did their best
Told fairy tales in bed
His own story never said
He used to ride the shoe bus
To school each day
With a brother's eye
I watched every bruise
Break his way
Said he's just like everyone
But he's not like anyone
No
Waited on a sign
To say goodbye
To pray and to break through
When nothing else
Can speak for you
Love is a language
We hang on to
Love is a language
We hang on to
Keeps the trouble in her chest
Every breath
Is saying things
Things will be alright
Two strangers in a house
He's a sleeper on the couch
Every night
Dad traded booze for caffeine
Mom keeps his collars clean

























Prayin' to break through
When nothing else can speak for you
Love is a language we hang on to


Love is a language we hang on to

Everyone wants proof
No one wants the truth
I'm just like everyone
But I'm not like anyone
I'm waiting on a sign
I'm waiting on a sign

Praying to break through
When nothing else can speak for you
Love is a language we hang on to
Love is a language we hang on, hang on to
Love is a language we hang on to
Love is a language we hang on to
