We talk and talk and talk
And if we lose our way
A simple change of subject
Will take us on our way

Words of anger hang between us
Like a barbed wire fence
Can't be brushed away
Like a barbed wire fence

If you don't speak my language
What I'm saying won't make sense

Sometimes we're tied and tied again
Still no progress made
Though things may seem better
There's still too much unsaid

Cutting words in conversation
Like a barbed wire fence
Can't be pushed aside
Like a barbed wire fence

If you don't speak my language
What I'm saying won't make sense
If you don't speak my language
What I'm saying won't make sense
If you don't speak my language
What I'm saying won't make sense
If you don't speak my language
What I'm saying won't make sense
