lyrics

I'll try speaking louder, even just for you
But without translation, there's nothing I can do
Let me tell you, my friend, there's envy in these eyes
People, why, they judge you, after not so many tries

Don't go back home
'Til everybody knows, 'cause
Closing doors leads to problems
And doesn't take us where we need to go, no

So talk to me, and

Translate my messages
I'll give it a try
Take off these bandages
And I need you to
Translate these feelings for me (I don't need to hear the words)
And I need you to
Show me you know how to see (I don't need to know the words)
And I need you to (I just need to feel)
Be there for me

Can you reach it? Is it in an arm's length?
When distance doesn't matter, it's more about the strength
Being willing, cautionary: different points of view
Many things are important, but I'll place my bets on you

What's that sound?
Don't bury it too deep
'Cause I might just be there listening
My efforts don't run that deep, no

So talk (speak) to me, and

[CHORUS]

...Speak to (with) me
So talk to me, when

[x2]
Translation loses something in all those words
But translation can give you something, more than just the words

So talk to me, and

[CHORUS]
