lyrics

You grin at the kettle when it starts to hiss

Your spoon hits the cup, and I know what this is

At Bus Stop B on Peckham Rye, you tilt your head

You laugh before the punchline, and I smile instead

Your phone face-down by the keys

Train card tucked in your sleeve

You bite back the first line

Then you let it breathe

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

Then the whole room turns

In a red cabs glow, you catch my face in the glass

Your auntie’s one-liner lands, and I hear you laugh

Palm oil on the stove, two spoons by the sink

You know the joke’s coming, before I can think

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

Then the whole room turns

I watch your shoulders shake by the stadium gate

Your laugh gets there early, never comes in late

From Lagos to Peckham, you carry that spark

Pre-empting the punchline in the dark

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

You laugh first

Then the whole room turns
