Laughing Like You

Well, I'd like to cut loose
Like a hatchet to the splinter
To shake off this mourning
Like a cold in dead of winter
But it's hard for me
So hard for me
But like the neighborhood cat
You've got this crazy sense
That lands you on your feet
As you're falling off the fence
But it's so hard for me
Baby, it's so hard for me

So I tumble out these tentative longings
And I pray that they may even be true
But I'd trade everything that you think I have
For a chance to be laughing like you
For a chance to be laughing like you

All of these experts
They're just so systematic
They broadcast their solutions
But all I get is static
And it's hard for me
Don't you know it's hard for me

But then I look into your face
Like a magic mirror
A holy smile growing warmer and clearer
And it's easier for me
Sometimes you make it easy

So I tumble out these tentative longings
And I pray that they may even be true
But I'd trade everything that you think I have
For a chance to be laughing like you
For a chance to be laughing like you

So I tumble out these tentative longings
And I pray that they may even be true
But I'd trade everything that you think I have
For a chance to be laughing like you
For a chance to be laughing like you
For a chance to be laughing like you

Laughing like you
I want to be laughing like you
Laughing like you
Laughing like you
