Make Her Laugh

(album: Hurry Up And Wait - 2020)

Woah oh oh oh
Up the river without a raft
You've done your worst with your better half
You better think of something fast
You better, you better make her laugh

Well it's after hours at the break of dawn
You've made your bed all day long
I must be doing something wrong
Are those tears of joy or are you just cryin'?

Just when you think you've had enough
And you're tired of trying to suck it up
I know you can make her laugh
Like a child on a carnival ride
Laugh that mascara right off her eyes
And she's walking away, just give it one more try
I know you can, you can make her laugh

Well you can leave when you want
But please leave us laughing
Leave us wondering what the fuck just happened
Your ironic cynical sarcastic sense of humor's
Got me wondering, if I ever had a chance

You know you can't make her love you
But you sure can make her cry
You can't make her make, make up her mind

Just when you think you've had enough
And you're tired of trying to suck it up
I know you can make her laugh
Like a child on a carnival ride
The mascara right off her eyes
And she's walking away, give it one more try
I know you can, you can make her laugh

And I'm bombing tonight
Crickets fill the sky
I'm dying on the vine
When I see you smile again
Well I can make her laugh

Now I'm first in line for the last word now
None of the sadness or madness has yet to die down
There's nothing left to do but laugh out loud
It was all just a joke anyhow

So, make her laugh
Like a child on a carnival ride (make her laugh)
Laugh that mascara right off her eyes (make her laugh)
As she's walking away, just give it one more try
I know you can, you can make her laugh

Make her laugh
Make her laugh
Make her laugh

I know you can, you can make her laugh
