It Would Be Funny

Kid from the city steps up to the plate
He's got one at-bat to determine his fate
And so he takes a big swing with remarkable grace
And the ball hits him right in the face

It would be funny if it didn't suck
If it didn't hurt
If it wasn't the end of the world
It was over before I started
And nothing's gonna fix it now

Girl from the sticks had a plan of attack
I'm gonna set New York on fire, and I'm not coming back
Except I guess never got around to lighting that torch
'Cause I'm back on my mother's front porch

It would be funny if it didn't suck
If it wasn't me
If it happened to anyone else
I avoided three high school reunions
But nothing's gonna fix it now

Nobody wants to hear
How failing's the only way you can learn
Doesn't matter if you don't know the rules
Or you don't like the game
'Cause you find out what you're made of
When you face what you're most afraid of
Like, what if you threw a party and nobody came?

It would be funny if it didn't suck
And it's gonna suck
But here's what I'm trying to say
It's not over until it's over
And only we can fix it now
It's not over until it's over
And only you can fix it now
