You and me under the trees you'll never see a brighter sky in your life The sepia moon, her time-withered face she'll never see another us in her life so hold, hold on tight Though tonight will happen forever it'll fade in your head with time The present's already a memory but believe me you'll never taste a sweeter laugh in your life Breathe deep so you may remember the taste Let's not tell the stars let's not tell the sun it's morning It can be our secret Because maybe if I could live in this instant I'll die thinking life was too short

I don't remember what those kids laughed about that night in the woods But that's okay it belongs to them their secret to keep That's where you told me to go that's where I asked you to stay and at least one of us kept our word

Laugh with me, laugh with me the punchline is in and it's better than ever The meaning of life can be seen crawling across your face after I tell a joke just not this joke and not this face

Our very own house our very own bed chalk outline grins held by strings overhead Child locked but understood by orange caskets of pills We are still in those woods strung up by the gills but still laughing.
