“Laugh Till I Cry” is a story about a couple who is realizing they just don’t have much in common.
The song contains a couple of allusions to another track on the album, “Motorcycle”: both the bit about “I’m on my motorcycle”, of course, but also the near-verbatim repetition of the line “sometimes...
[Verse 1]
I guess I just don’t get your plan
Are you trying to smash my world up?
I am trying to understand
You say you know me, not truly who I am
You stress the modifier, while I stress the adjective
[Bridge 1]
But you’re in your car
And I’m on my motorcycle
I lay on the floor
Naturally bite your ankle
[Chorus]
I laugh till I cry, I party over the top
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point, I changed my mind
I laugh till I cry, I party over the top
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point, I changed my mind
[Verse 2]
It’s like the blind leading the blind
I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine
Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
If you want to see the light
It’s not my style to be strong
Strong enough to want to fight
A fight that I would probably lose
But in the end, I would survive
I would survive!
[Chorus]
I laugh till I cry, I party over the top
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point, I changed my mind
I laugh till I cry, I party over the top
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point, I changed my mind
[Bridge 2]
Ladies and gentlemen
The DJ just threw up
On the dance floor
Party is over
It's time to go
It’s time to go
[Break]
It’s time to go
[Bridge 3]
You were thinking about leaving
You were thinking about walking away
The whole time sleeping
In the chair right next to me
[Chorus]
I laugh till I cry, I party over the top
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point, I changed my mind
I laugh till I cry, I party over the top
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point, I changed my mind
[Bridge 1]
But you’re in your car
And I’m on my motorcycle
I lay on the floor
Naturally bite your ankle
[Bridge 2]
Ladies and gentlemen
The DJ just threw up
On the dance floor
Party is over
It’s time to go
