Funny
Jason Gotay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The smell of smoke on your shirt
Even once in a while, being with you hurts
I miss those days, we used to share a bed just lying there
I miss your smile
Its funny how your here and then your gone
Its funny how you can just move on
Feeling around not knowing what to do
We were young
We didn't know
I miss those nights
Its funny your here and then your gone
Its funny how you can just move on
Its funny how days aren't so funny anymore
Cause you can't tack back those things that you said
The memories play over and over in your head
You try to find the moment the love went away
But you just can't say
Lives funny that way
Its funny your here and then your gone
Its funny how you can just move on
Its funny how love so quickly turns into more
Its funny how I say that I am fine
All the while expecting you to walk back through that door
Isn't it funny
Isn't it funny
Anymore
The song "Funny" by Jason Gotay speaks about the confusion, pain, and longing that comes with missing someone. The song describes the feeling of nostalgia that people have for the past, even if the person they miss caused them hurt. The opening lines of the song "I miss your smile, The smell of smoke on your shirt, Even once in a while, being with you hurts" set the reflective tone for the song. It shows that even though being with someone hurts, there are still parts of them that are missed.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "Its funny how you're here and then you're gone, its funny how you can just move on" and reminds us of how quickly things can change. The song suggests that love can be fleeting and it's funny how quickly it can disappear. The lyrics "'cause you can't take back those things that you said, the memories play over and over in your head, you try to find the moment the love went away, but you just can't say" demonstrate how hard it is to pinpoint what went wrong in a relationship or when love faded. The final lines of the song, "Isn't it funny, Isn't it funny, Anymore" reflect resignation and the acceptance that sometimes we just have to accept things the way they are, rather than trying to find answers.

But you just can't articulate it
