Pregnant pause

The day drags like a dead thing
So the night is for mending
Baby, I'll hold your hand
Not everybody understands us

There is a tongue that we speak in
No one else got the meaning
But they don't, I have
Not everybody understands us

Cause sometimes my heart hurts to watch you
There's a blind spot that I can't get to
Sometimes you seem like a lost cause
Breathe a second, feel the pregnant pause

Speak to me in our tongue
When all the words only come out wrong
Speak to me in our tongue
A pillow talk patois from a land long gone

Cause sometimes my heart hurts to watch you
There's a blind spot that I can't get to
Sometimes you seem like a lost cause
Breathe a second, feel the pregnant
Pause

Sometimes you seem like a lost cause
Breathe a second, feel the pregnant pause
