lyrics

At six seventeen, the kettle clicks

Your mouth turns up before the joke

You see it coming in the spoon

So you laugh before I even spoke

You tap your ring on the IKEA tray

I spill my tea on the blue tile floor

You bite your lip at the punchline’s edge

Like you’ve heard this trick before

You lean on the counter by the fridge

Eyes bright like a screen gone white

I’m still one beat behind your grin

But I can feel it load tonight

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

On the tram at Nordstan, 8:04

Your shoulder shakes when the ad comes on

You cover it with a plastic bag

From the bakery by the station

At Stigbergstorget, your keys in hand

You look at me like you know the line

Then you lose it on the second word

And I’m laughing late, but right on time

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

I watch your face in the window glass

A half-second jump, a tiny spark

Before the room can find the joke

You’re already there in the dark

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first
