It Would Be Funny
[EVAN]
Kid from the city steps up to 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

[JESSICA]
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 I 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?
[JESSICA & EVAN]
It would be funny if it didn't suck

[EVAN]
And it's gonna suck

[JESSICA]
But here's what I'm trying to say
It's not over until it's over
And only we can fix now

[JESSICA & EVAN]
It's not over until it's over

[JESSICA]
And only you can fix it now
