Only One Laughing

Am I the only one laughing?
Don't tell me you're listening
Waste a lifetime pretending
Then pretty soon you'll beg for forgiveness

You see the only one laughing is the only one I've been
The only one laughing may well be the only road out of this

When you go home will you erase the night?
When you go home do you chase the light?

Let's abandon all pretense if only for my amusement
Would it make any difference
When we spend all our lives reminiscing

When you go home will you erase the night?
When you go home do you chase the light?

So do I give in to what's so tantalizing?
I think I know the answer now
See I never knew that what once excited me
Wasn't what's meant to be
I don't got a clue, why are you
So subdued, is it something I said
I apologize for being so straight
I guess I just wonder why bother
With anything that ends up exactly the same

So why am I the only one laughing?
I'm the only one laughing
