No Translation

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You say my name in a language I don’t know I catch the meaning in the way you move slow One small smile, and the room turns wide No need to choose which side we’re standing on tonight [Pre-Chorus] Your words fall soft, mine come out strange Still we meet somewhere between the sounds we make [Chorus] No translation, I know what you mean Every little look says enough to me Different vowels, same heart in motion You reach for my hand, I cross the ocean No translation, no need to explain We can let the silence carry the phrase You and I, finding our own conversation Love needs no translation [Verse 2] You draw a map on the back of a receipt I trace the lines where our two worlds meet The café closes, rain starts to fall You laugh, I laugh, and that’s the whole call [Pre-Chorus] Your words fall soft, mine come out strange Still we meet somewhere between the sounds we make [Chorus] No translation, I know what you mean Every little look says enough to me Different vowels, same heart in motion You reach for my hand, I cross the ocean No translation, no need to explain We can let the silence carry the phrase You and I, finding our own conversation Love needs no translation [Bridge] Teach me the word for stay I’ll teach you mine for home We’ll get it wrong a hundred ways And never feel alone [Final Chorus] No translation, I know what you mean Every little look says enough to me Different vowels, same heart in motion You reach for my hand, I cross the ocean No translation, no need to explain We can let the silence carry the phrase You and I, finding our own conversation Love needs no translation [Outro] No translation I know what you mean
