  • 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

    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

    Everything melted in less than a week
    Watching it felt like forever
    The lights started dimming
    And then they went out
    Heaven came down like a blanket
    I can't even say what it's about
    All I am is shreds of doubt

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Turn on the laugh track
    We'll see if it changes the scene Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Matthew Donald Berninger
