Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Borrowed phrases from a pocket guide
Coffee steam rises, six A.M.
Can't pronounce what's on my cup
But you'd laugh if you were here
[Pre-chorus 1]
Lost in translation
Finding my way back to you
[Chorus]
Every street sign's a poem I can't read
Writing letters in my head that I won't send
Every street sign's a poem I can't read
But somehow I understand what it means
[Verse 2]
Old man at the corner store
Points and smiles, I point and nod
Train tickets, wrong direction
Three stations past where I should be
[Pre-chorus 2]
Lost in translation
Getting closer to the truth
[Chorus]
Every street sign's a poem I can't read
Writing letters in my head that I won't send
Every street sign's a poem I can't read
But somehow I understand what it means
[Bridge]
And maybe that's what I came here to find
Not answers, just different questions
(Different questions)
In a language I don't speak
But my heart translates just fine
[Verse 3]
Table set for one tonight
Red wine catches evening light
Someone's singing down below
And for once, I feel at home
[Chorus]
Every street sign's a poem I can't read
Writing letters in my head that I won't send
Every street sign's a poem I can't read
But somehow I understand
Somehow I understand
Somehow I understand what it means
