[Verse 1]

Broken desk lamp lights

And freezing cold nights

You keep your distance from love

And your heart out of sight

Deciduous trees

Throwing leaves at your feet

You keep your heart in your pocket

With other things you don't need

Dance with the fire

But you never breathe the smoke

You've been making shadows

From the second you woke

The sun will hit your hair

But nothing touches your face

She probably speaks in parables

When she has something to say

[Chorus]

Probably speaks in parables

Prob-prob-probably parables

Prob-prob-probably parables

When she has something to say

Probably speaks in parables

Prob-prob-probably parables

Prob-prob-probably parables

When she has something to say

[Verse 2]

Washing machines

Can't keep a dirty mind clean

She sees their eyes on her

Like she's the missing piece

She walks in straight lines

Because she doesn't waste time

But you'll be walking in circles

When you see her pass by

Sometimes I see you

Engulfed in loneliness

Which doesn't make sense

If you think about it

Crystal eyes

Won't save you this time

She probably speaks in parables

I know you speak in lies

[Chorus]

Probably speaks in parables

Prob-prob-probably parables

Prob-prob-probably parables

I know you speak in lies

Probably speaks in parables

Prob-prob-probably parables

Prob-prob-probably parables

I know you speak in lies

[Outro]

Probably speaks in parables

Probably speaks in parables

Probably speaks in parables

Probably speaks in parables

Probably speaks in parables
