Always Laughing

Jack's not nimble, Jack's not quick today, beware the changing season
'Cause it won't be long 'til there's no more songs to play
One more year's just four more months away, and it's harder to find a reason
To convince myself it's still okay to stay

'Cause oh, it won't be very long 'til the space I have is gone
And what if all I've done decays, the horizon turns to grey
What a stupid thing to say, 'cause I'm not out here alone
And there ain't no grey today

So take me with a smile and we will roll right past the fall, always laughing
Take it in our stride and we will roll right past them all, always laughing
What's the point of living our lives through a crystal ball?
It's just a waste of time, just a waste of time

Oh my God, I've lost my will to play, and I'm hardly breaking even
And the future's one more thing I can't delay
Which end will the spectrum shine today? And which path can I believe in?
'Cause I'm riding on that pendulum again, again

'Cause oh, it won't be very long 'til the space I have is gone
And what if all I've done decays, the horizon turns to grey
But what a stupid thing to say, 'cause I'm not out here alone
Ain't no grey today

So take me with a smile and we'll all ride past the fall, always laughing
Take it in our stride and we'll all ride past them all, always laughing
What's the point of living our lives through a crystal ball?
It's just a waste of time, just a waste of time

'Cause you're the one that picked me up when my smile was gone
You're the one that offered me the strength to carry on
You're the one that saved me, you're the smile behind this song
You're the one that picked me up and saved me
You're the reason I've been laughing lately

So take me with a smile and we'll all ride past the fall, always laughing
Take it in our stride and we'll all ride past them all, always laughing
What's the point of living our lives through a crystal ball?
It's just a waste of time, just a waste of time
