Jeff Rosenstock - Laughing (Or Pretending To Laugh) lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up laughing on a hardwood floor In a five-storey walk, up somewhere in New York Still smiling from laying out on the roof Still smiling from opening my eyes and looking at you And if I walk around Brooklyn with my headphones in Hot cup of coffee that I spill while I'm air-drumming Will I one day bump into you as if by accident See if you wanna go somewhere and get a drink? [Chorus] 'Cause I've been laughing (or pretending to laugh) I've been crying (or pretending to cry) But I could stand on this corner And watch you walk my way for the rest of my life [Verse 2] And it was snowing when we drove back through the city Wanted to climb up on your fire escape and kiss you on your pretty face But I lay in the van and I stared into space Half-smiling, half-flying, half-asleep, half-awake And I just really needed you to know That you don't have to wait out this snow alone And maybe I am just a reminder of home But I still think we made each other feel something good [Chorus] I've been laughing (or pretending to laugh) I've been crying (or pretending to cry) But I could stand on this corner And watch you walk my way for the rest of my life [Bridge] And I don't wanna marry you just yet But at least let me get you a cider And I don't even think I'd have to pay for it Hopefully, there's a couple left on the rider And just because I've got a lot to learn Does not mean that I am inherently a piece of sh** Just because I don't think I know everything Doesn't mean that I don't know anything And I don't wanna marry you just yet Although it'd probably help with my visa And we can continue having this conversation I'll just go and get us both a bacardi breezer Just because I've got a lot to learn Does not mean that I am inherently a piece of sh** Just because I don't think I know everything Doesn't mean that I don't know anything
