The Language of Life

Know you'd rather talk instead about the

things inside your head, but everything, everything,

that I overheard, tells me you just don't have the

words. Cause you never learned to speak the language

of life, and here you are a grown man who can't talk

to his wife. And the children you don't understand.

You think you've come on pretty far, still

got the job, the house and the car. But there's one

thing, one thing that you never get a grip on life's

sweet alphabet. Cause you never learned to speak the

language of life, and here you are a grown man who

can't talk to his wife.

And when things get out of hand, and the kids you

don't understand - love is foreign land. Over words

you have no command, you have no command

But it's not that you don't care - Admit it baby,

and you've half way there. Cause you know, you know

that you feel much more than you ever have the words for.

Cause you never learned to speak the language of life,

and here you are a grown man who can't talk to his wife,

and the children you just don't understand.
