"Laugh Track" lyrics - THE NATIONAL

[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
Losing my momentum, losing my mind
Not enough to mention, not enough time
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]
And you don't know how to deal with me
You don't know how that feels
It all comes apart so easily
And you're running out of ideas

[Verse 3: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
Everything melted in less than a week
Watching you felt like forever
The lights started dimming and then they went out
Heaven came down like a blanket

[Refrain: Phoebe Bridgers]
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

[Verse 4: Matt Berninger]
So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

[Verse 5: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

[Verse 6: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

[Verse 7: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

[Verse 4: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

[Verse 5: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

[Verse 6: Phoebe Bridgers]
I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

[Verse 7: Phoebe Bridgers]
Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

[Verse 6: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

[Verse 4: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

[Outro: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
