Applause Lyrics

I saw the world in color
You saw it all in black and white
I thought I knew you better, I thought I knew you

You're not a face in the crowd, you're the crowd that I have to face
If I'm not mistaken by now I think I make too many mistakes
and the punchline is a thought, that makes you laugh so hard you could cry
the punchline is a thought:

Why do I strain my voice without saying a word?
I think it's a lot like dancing, I missed every step with you
and I can't believe that you're still clapping along

I'm tired of staying up late and sometimes not sleeping at all
I paid too much attention, yeah I think I payed it all
and the punchline is a thought that makes you laugh so hard you could cry
the punchline is a thought:

All your bad dreams are clapping along, they're clapping along
and I'm not sorry for refusing to bow while you kept clapping along
