The Joke

[Verse 1]

It was a whirlwind, it was the blink of an eye

It was driving through the mountains to go swimming at night

It was bad timing but it felt so right it was

It was the backroof of that diner and the music you liked

[Pre-Chorus]

Spark a lighter

Oh God I'm tired

Of the thought it could have been something

Something

[Chorus]

I've never been so in on the joke

I wish I found it funnier to watch you go but

It doesnt hurt less the knot in my chest

I might have seen it coming but I didn't expect

To feel like a kid stomping my feet on the ground

Wish I could see you again but I'll just see you around

I've never been so in on the joke

I wish I found it funnier

[Verse 2]

Are you still in college or did you finally drop out I like to think if you ever did then you would end up at my house

[Pre-Chorus]

Spark a lighter

Oh God I'm tired

Of the thought it could have been something

Something

[Chorus]

I've never been so in on the joke

I wish I found it funnier to watch you go but

It doesn't hurt less the knot in my chest

I might have seen it coming but I didn't expect

To feel like a kid stomping my feet on the ground

Wish I could see you again but I'll just see you around

I've never been so in on the joke

I wish I found it funnier

[Bridge]

Yeah it was highkey a bummer it could only last a summer

Think I really could have loved you, oh

Heard the lightning and thunder when we hid under the covers

Think I really could have loved you oh

Yeah it was highkey a bummer it could only last a summer

Think I really could have loved you, oh

Heard the lightning and thunder when we hid under the covers

Think I really could have loved you oh

[Chorus]

I've never been so in on the joke

I wish I found it funnier to watch you go but

It doesn't hurt less the knot in my chest

I might have seen it coming but I didn't expect

To feel like a kid stomping my feet on the ground

Wish I could see you again but I'll just see you around

I've never been so in on the joke

I wish I found it funnier
