Lost Between the Laughter & the Wait

[INTRO, comedy hall, announcer guy] [Audience, hooting and hollering] Good evening everybody... please put your hands together, for Johnny "Funny Guy" Fungi [Verse 1] [Spoken Vocal] I was sprinting through the wedding rain, Trying to wash away the ketchup of your stain. Every puddle reminds me of a different excuse, When your uncle was holding the bouquet. [Pre-Chorus] Now the silence feels so scheduled, Like a punchline left untold. [Chorus] We're just extras in the wedding tonight, Two actors dancing polite. I still hear your name when applause falls, Like a distant laugh through empty halls. And even if the lights forget to shine, A part of you will trip in my lines. We're just almost, maybe, Lost between the setup and wait. [Verse 2] I keep your number in a cookbook, But recipes never taste the same. Every word, every vow we knew, Still comes back when I order takeout. [Pre-Chorus] And the clock keeps moving on, But some jokes never land [Chorus] We're just extras in the wedding tonight, Two actors dancing polite. I still hear your name when applause falls, Like a distant laugh through empty halls. And even if the lights forget to shine, A part of you will trip in my lines. We're just almost, maybe, Lost between the setup and wait. [Bridge] Maybe someday we’ll find our cue, Through all the lines we couldn't do... Until then I'll practice this pause, A little space that says your name. [Chorus] We're just extras in the wedding tonight, Two actors dancing polite. I still hear your name when applause falls, Like a distant laugh through empty halls. And even if the lights forget to shine, A part of you will trip in my lines. We're just almost, maybe, Lost between the setup and wait.
