How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account.
Type "move iTunes library" into the search bar for the forums or your favorite search engine and follow the steps in the resulting links.

Also, follow the steps given here...
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing iTunes library to a new computer.
Method 1
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
