lyrics

At twelve-forty, in the tram shed glass,

you bent your mouth and let the first laugh pass.

Wet wool on your coat, salt on your sleeve,

the joke was still in my throat when you grieve.

Your eyes were counting the second hand’s crawl,

finger on the table, knowing it all.

You heard the punchline under the knife,

smiled like a blade that already knows life.

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon

By the fish market, crates stacked in rows,

you broke into laughter before anyone knows.

A chipped blue mug, a spoon in the sink,

you taste the fall before I can think.

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon

Now the room goes thin as a wire in frost,

your shoulders shake for the timing lost.

I watch your mouth, the small white flare,

the future already sitting there.

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon

You laugh too soon
