Tom Schick - The Joke Explained lyrics

[Verse 1] I never held your gaze I never know my place Oh, I stare at the eyes Starin' at my face It always ends in a tie There is no knitting the divide I cry at the joke explained [Chorus] Ah, but if I had known, if I had known If I had known, I would have never believed [Verse 2] I never smoked my chain Whoever measures the crest Ah, they can have my broken chest It's a staring contest In a hall of mirrors I sweat tears, but I don't ever cry [Chorus] Ah, if I had known, if I had known If I had known, I would have never believed [Verse 3] I never knelt at the news My parrot perished in the pews I climb back into the yolk It always ends in a tie There is no knitting the divide I cry at the joke explained [Chorus] Ah, if I had known, if I had known If I had known, I would have never believed [Outro] I would have never believed I would have never believed
