Lingua Franca Lyrics

If there's something I know about you

Don't always say it, can see what you're going through

Spark in your eyes – intentions so clear

Conversation's honest – just have to be near

Some words can't be heard

But we know your mind

Through laughter or disaster

Can't always be so clearly defined

We might be speaking by simply feeling

Going on a vibe

Around for years – got nothing to prove

Friendly replying in the way that you move

Just reminded us how far we have come

Since awkward silence was the rule of thumb

Some words can't be heard

But we know your mind

Through laughter or disaster

Can't always be so clearly defined

We might be speaking by simply feeling

Going on a vibe

When you find us tripping over tongues

Facial tics lead the way like breadcrumbs

Gestures, stances and sideways glances

Body dictionary learned in lifetime classes

When we first met, didn't see the signs

But had designs on not flying blind for long

Not enough to read the lines

The world's a stage and the players play on…

Unspoken we dance

Our lingua franca

Unspoken we dance

Our lingua franca
