Lyrics

Chameleon/Comedian

I know your heart

It is a sacred thing

You're a comedian

You hide behind your funny face

Every time

Every time

Out of the shadows

Out of the cameras and the lights

You're a chameleon

And you hide behind your darker side

Every time

Every time

I don't need a punchline

I don't need a punchline

Everybody's watching

The way that I see you could not change

I'll be your medium

For everything you wanted to say

'Cause out of the shadows

Out of the cameras and the lights

I'm a chameleon

I just hide behind the songs I write

See me smile

It's not for a funny joke

See me smile

It's not for a funny joke

It's for every time

Every time I don't need

I don't need a punchline

Every time

Every time

I don't need a punchline

See me smile

It's not for a funny joke

See me smile

It's not for a funny joke

It's for every time

Every time

I don't need a punchline

I don't need a punchline

Every time

Every time

I don't need a punchline

I don't need a punchline

Every time

Every time

I don't need a punchline

Every time

Every time
