It's comedy

[Verse 1] You play the fool like hosts on weekend shows I nod along while every rumor grows Your timing jumps like marbles down a lane I keep it straight and still you grin again [Verse 2] We toss old myths like paper through the breeze You raise a brow like every line’s a tease A silence lands, the crowd begins to sway Like folding chairs that nearly slide away [Chorus] It's comedy beneath the borrowed light One little tale becomes a grand insight You joke around while fixing up your sleeve I bite my lip pretending I believe It's comedy through things somebody said Each moment twists like wires in our heads We stand in place while trading point of view Like maybe none of this was ever true [Verse 3] You spin those tropes like records at a fair I slow them down before they fill the air Your eyes invite another playful push Mine stay composed while all the room grows hush [Verse 4] The evening rolls like carts across the floor You mock a phrase we must have heard before A crooked smile escapes before you speak Like both of us turned bold and slightly weak [Chorus] It's comedy beneath the borrowed light One little tale becomes a grand insight You joke around while fixing up your sleeve I bite my lip pretending I believe It's comedy through things somebody said Each moment twists like wires in our heads We stand in place while trading point of view Like maybe none of this was ever true [Bridge] Your comebacks land like drums before a play Mine answer back in quieter display You pull me close through every awkward scene I calm the pace while staying in between A crowded set can blur behind your grin Like rolling waves that slowly draw me in One clumsy pause says more than all the lines Two careful hearts still circling the signs [Final Chorus] It's comedy beneath the borrowed light One little tale becomes a grand insight You joke around while fixing up your sleeve I bite my lip pretending I believe It's comedy through things somebody said Each moment twists like wires in our heads We nearly break then hide in quiet laughs While silence bends around our winding paths [Outro]
