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
