How To Make A Baby Elephant Float Lyrics

I like to hold hands when we walk
I'm not averse to pillow talk
But I prefer a private joke
The memory it evokes
Because it's our punchline
It's our punchline

That film we saw from the front row
It means so much to us alone
I love the wrinkled brow
Of anyone else around
Becauses it's our punchline
It's our punchline

And when we're out
And you say "It would appear..."
We laugh and laugh
No one else hears
No one at all at all at all

And when we're out
And you say "It would appear..."
We laugh and laugh
No one else hears
No one at all at all at all

If you want to be a romantic fool
You don't have to say "I love you"
Just say what's in your heart
Non-sequitor or not
And without even trying
Find your punchline
Find your punchline

It seems to be about the joy of things esoteric. It's about how the little things that you and your lover share with one another makes your relationship truly what it is.

I take it that the title is a private joke between two lovers and the song is about odd things that two people in love share that others may not understand.
