Elliot Witheart - True Romance Lyrics

Once I met a bird and tried to talk to it
But he didn't understand
Cause words don't mean shit to it
But I heard him talking back
In a language that I lack
But I know I know I just forgot
And someday I'll get it back

I wanna sing like a bird
I'd like to talk without words
Without rules, rhyme and style
Just let it come from inside

And I wanna sing my own songs
That I've known all along
Songs your's as much as mine
Songs that are within time

I know I'm an organism
A human being with a soul
Like the bird its always whistling
No matter what I'm told

Once I met a snake
And tried to shake hands with it
But he didn't understand
Cause handshakes don't mean shit to it
But I saw him shaking back
With the moves that I lack
But I know I know I just forgot
And someday I'll get it back

I wanna dance like a snake
I want my whole body to shake
Without rules,rhythm and style
Just let it come from inside

And I wanna dance my own dance
As much a woman's as a man's
A dance that's your's as much as mine
Let us dance and let us shine

I know I'm an organism
A human being with a soul
Like the snake its always shaking
No matter what I'm told

And today I met a man and tried to sing and dance to him
But he didn't understand
Cause song and dance don't mean shit to it
But I saw him singing and dancing back
In a language that he thinks he lacks
But I know he knows I he just forgot
And someday he'll get it back

I wanna be what I am
All the singing and the dance
All the rhythm and the trance
Oh this universe is true romance

I know I am what I am
And you are to and all your friends
All the animals and plants
Oh this universe is true romance

I wanna sing
I wanna dance
I wanna be
Be what I am

I know I am what I am
And you are to and all your friends
All the animals and plants
Oh this universe, Oh this universe, Oh this universe
Oh this universe is true romance
