Prompt: "Trick"

[Verse 1] You hid the key beneath the blue cup Then asked me why the door stayed shut I checked the hall, I checked the stairs You stood there smiling, folding chairs [Pre-Chorus] One little glance, one raised eyebrow I see the setup coming now [Chorus] You pulled a trick, I caught the thread A paper crown upon your head You said, “Surprise,” I said, “All right— Now watch me turn it back tonight” You pulled a trick, I know the game But every time, I laugh the same [Verse 2] You switched the labels on the jars And drew a mustache on my car I found your note inside my shoe: “Nice try, but I was watching you” [Pre-Chorus] You count to three, I count to two The next small joke is mine on you [Chorus] You pulled a trick, I caught the thread A paper crown upon your head You said, “Surprise,” I said, “All right— Now watch me turn it back tonight” You pulled a trick, I know the game But every time, I laugh the same [Bridge] Wait—what’s that behind the door? A tiny cake upon the floor You planned a joke, but here’s the twist: I brought the candles you had missed [Final Chorus] We pulled a trick, we caught the thread Two crooked grins and frosting spread You said, “Surprise,” I said, “All right— Let’s trade the punchline every night” We pulled a trick, we know the game And every time, we laugh the same [Outro] You count to three, I count to two Tomorrow I’ll have one for you
