[Lyric] "Why Are We Laughing Now?" 01.25.02
A long forgotten, unfinished lyric about a drunken incident with my roommate on the first night of living away from home, Canada Day 2001. (I can’t under emphasize this one enough)
Where are all the fireworks?
That echo in the night
Colours of uncertainty
There is no black or white
Distant stars of magic sparkle
Fall into your eyes
All my charming mysteries
Are yours to idolize
How can I fight the current
If I can’t even swim?
I’ll drown in adulation
To navigate your skin
Forbidden path of least resistance
Comes as brief surprise
All your idiosyncrasies
I’m left to analyze
(chorus)
Its not like we’re in love
There’s no need to be a coward
What shade of green are you waiting for?
A human impulse you can’t ignore
Its safe tonight we’re only lonely
We drink to fill our empty lives
If complications cause you conflict
What situation’s ever perfect?
Is that why we’re laughing now?
Why are we laughing now?
