Did you even know what it was
And we all got it wrong
And when someone is special
On the outside
You know inside
Try so hard to look tougher
All comedians suffer
I'm not joking
The ballerina
The weightlifter
She's still smoking
But there's a cost
And dreams get lost, ohh
When you radiate sunshine
Ohh, ohh
The people in the aisles are rolling
And you keep yourself dry and happy
And you laugh as he pulls his gun
Until he brings you back
Until he makes you high
The dry swallow
My heart is sinking
The doors open
And everyone is looking
'Cause all comedians suffer
Try so hard to look tougher
But I don't mind
But there's a cost
When you radiate sunshine
And dreams get lost
And keys get left on the counter
Something only I can see
All the feelings that I had
When you're coming back to me
Hard for you to understand
Never knowing what comes up
And knowing how to take it
And you know what the funny thing is
On the outside
A bright future
I still dream of
Let's get started
The white lemon
The nerve ending
The low ceiling
The walls shaking
The punch coming
Guess I could be the only one
That's hearing lies
On the outside
You know inside
Try so hard to look tougher
All comedians suffer
I'm not joking
The ballerina
The weightlifter
She's still smoking
Did you even know what it was
And we all got it wrong
And when someone is special
On the outside
You know inside
Try so hard to look tougher
All comedians suffer
I'm not joking
The ballerina
The weightlifter
She's still smoking
But there's a cost
And dreams get lost, ohh
When you radiate sunshine
Ohh, ohh
The people in the aisles are rolling
And you keep yourself dry and happy
And you laugh as he pulls his gun
Until he brings you back
Until he makes you high
The dry swallow
My heart is sinking
The doors open
And everyone is looking
'Cause all comedians suffer
Try so hard to look tougher
But I don't mind
But there's a cost
When you radiate sunshine
And dreams get lost
And keys get left on the counter
Something only I can see
All the feelings that I had
When you're coming back to me
Hard for you to understand

And you know what the funny thing is
