[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

When you go home will you erase the night?

When you go home do you chase the light?

[Verse 3]

Let's abandon all pretense

If only for my amusement

Would it make any difference

When we spend all our lives reminiscing

[Chorus]

When you go home will you erase the night?

When you go home do you chase the light?

When you go home will you erase the night?

When you go home do you chase the light?

[Verse 4]

So do I give in to what's so tantalising?

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 apologise for being so straight

I guess I just wonder why bother with anything

That ends up exactly the same

[Outro]

So why am I the only one laughing?

I'm the only one laughing

So why am I the only one laughing?

I'm the only one laughing

The only one laughing

I'm the only one laughing

So why am I the only one laughing?

I'm the only one laughing
