Sense of Humor Lyrics

I think this song is underrated in The Tension And The Spark, because I consider it within my favourites. When I hear it I picture instantly a situation in which the Darren daydreams of being liked by this person he cares so much for...the way they dialogues would be between them...the instant conection and the way he could be able to love her right...But it's all in his head...in reality she is just not even close to him, she is not interested in getting to know him at all and he can only think of "what if..." It's such a bittersweet song that suddenly gets to a point when you feel Darren's desperation and need to be loved and understood: "waking up from a coma, tossing turning, sweat has covered my body, my mouth felt dry, my life flashing before me...still it was so boring..." It shows that, in reality, he is all alone, only wishing for a relationship like the one he talks about the beggining. "I have censored my eyes, I hear drums in my years, redirected desire now, it comes out as tears...and now it comes out as tears..." so sad, so beautiful, so real to me.
