Verse
You iron your socks color-code you're fears
Plan out every laugh you’ve had in the last five years

Lip curled raised brow you storm in like a thundercloud reading jokes like legal files
Can’t you crack once in a while? that stiff collar that straight spine you clock every little tiny line

I show up late and you spill you're drink on my shoes
You’re counting the minutes I’m counting the moons

Pre-Chorus
You say “What if it all goes wrong?” I say “What if it all feels right?”
You choke on the what-ifs baby while I’m eating cake at midnight

You say "Slow down" I say "Spin"
You guard the gates I kick ‘em in (hey!)




Chorus [whispered vocals] normal voice]
Why so serious? loosen up you're jaw
Let the words fall out
Why so furious? at every little thing you can’t even figure out

Breathe in and breathe out let all that doubt fall down
Rip that checklist toss that script come get lost and don’t get found

Breathe in count three dpin once in those shoes
Let that tight jaw walk free nothing left you can’t lose

Why so serious? you look furious life’s delirious laugh a little Laugh a little
Why so serious? like it’s all a test loosen up that chest live a little live a little

Life is already weird enough come on come on curious
Why you tryna make it rough? kiss me like it’s not that serious



Verse 2
You rehearse goodbyes in the shower steam
I dance in the mirror lip-syncing to my own daydreams

You keep score in every slip
Turn small storms to sinking ships
I spill coffee you call crisis
I call it a good story rising

You’re circling storms on a weather app
I’m outside getting drenched laughing under your map



Pre-Chrous
You say “What if I look insane?” I say “What if that’s kind of fun?”
You build another glass cage I’m tapping “Hey you just wanna run?”

You say "Grow up" I say "Why?"
You count problems I count highs



Chorus [whispered vocals] normal voice]
Why so serious? loosen up you're jaw
Let the words fall out
Why so furious? at every little thing you can’t even figure out

Breathe in and breathe out let all that doubt fall down
Rip that checklist toss that script come get lost and don’t get found

Breathe in count three dpin once in those shoes
Let that tight jaw walk free nothing left you can’t lose

Why so serious? you look furious life’s delirious laugh a little Laugh a little
Why so serious? like it’s all a test loosen up that chest live a little live a little

Life is already weird enough come on come on curious
Why you tryna make it rough? kiss me like it’s not that serious
