The Room
[In Verse 3]
Speak in your native tongue
Don’t get lost in translation
Teach me your pretty words
Please don’t contradict them
I won’t get uncomfortable
When it starts to get vulnerable
“This entire song is based on a situationship I was in. His native language wasn’t English and his language fascinated me, it’s gorgeous. When he was speaking to me, sometimes he would stumble to find his words and I could tell he was trying to translate things in his head. To me his native language is much prettier than English and I wanted to learn it. He said sweet things to me and I always thought to myself say it and mean it in your actions, don’t do the opposite. It was an intense relationship and he was everything to me at the time, so I wasn’t afraid to just lay my heart out there. The Room is pure storytelling at its core and that’s how I’d like the listener to hear it.”
