The Lyrics

A tale of linguistics and philology and other such fancy words!
Wish I could read you, can't recognise your marks
And because I'm a linguist, that really smarts
Wanna solve this, don't care if it gets too dark
All I want is to finally read you

Know scripts of many kinds from throughout all of time
But this one, I don't get, it's messing with my head
Comparing ev'ry line to those inside my mind
It's not Latin or Hebrew, checked Thaana, it ain't true, oh-oh-oh
Must find the right answer, must know
And then I can go to sleep once more

I wish I could read you, can't recognise your marks
Thought it would be real easy, guess I'm not smart
But I won't quit 'til I work out what you are
All I want is to finally read you

Been pouring over tomes to see what others know
This is unusual, my ref'rences aren't low
Books big enough to knock (ayy) you out if you got clocked
But not a single spot (ayy) that looks like what I've got, whoa-oh-oh
Ain't right but I can't let it go
Because I always wanna know more

I wish I could read you, can't recognise your marks
Wonder if this discovery is the start
Of a brand-new chapter? Makes sense why it's hard
All I want is to finally read you

And I know what you'll say 'cause I've heard it all, dude
"You sure their handwriting just wasn't askew?"
Got ways to tell that, mate, and it just ain't true
It's a whole new language, I know it

I wish I could read you, can't recognise your marks
Gonna find what you're saying so I can start
A new search for who wrote you down, end this farce
All I want is to finally read you
Wish I could read you, can't recognise your marks
Hope that I don't discover nothing, it's hard
To learn I was just reading floor scuffs, dumbarse
All I want is to finally read you

Was thinking of doing a reveal that it was just scuff marks on the floor but I decided to leave it more open. I tend to rely too much on twists anyhow.
