If we were living in a joke we’d know exactly how it goes
Cause we’ve heard it a hundred times
You know the one I mean…
The bear in the bar on the trampoline
While the bartender says something politically a propos
Remember the time I kissed you hard on the mouth
I think I knocked you off your guard
You said I laughed like bells tinged with melancholy
Funny, that’s how I feel now
But where do we go from here
Where do we go from here?
I think the punchline is somewhere in the silence
The punchline is everything I meant to say
But lost my words
Or found a flaw
So here we are
If we were living in a joke we’d know exactly how it goes
Cause we all have a part to play
You’d be the debonair with the top shelf drink and a cold hard stare
And I’d do tap dance just to see if you could laugh
But the punchline is somewhere in the silence
The punchline is everything I meant to say
But lost my words
Or found a flaw
So here we are
Waiting on a punchline
