Am I the only one laughing? Don't tell me you're listening Waste a lifetime pretending Then pretty soon you'll beg for forgiveness You see the only one laughing is the only one I've been The only one laughing may well be the only road out of this When you go home will you erase the night? When you go home do you chase the light? Let's abandon all pretense if only for my amusement Would it make any difference When we spend all our lives reminiscing When you go home will you erase the night? When you go home do you chase the light? So do I give in to what's so tantalizing? I think I know the answer now See I never knew that what once excited me Wasn't what's meant to be I don't got a clue, why are you So subdued, is it something I said I apologize for being so straight I guess I just wonder why bother With anything that ends up exactly the same So why am I the only one laughing? I'm the only one laughing
