Ironic
Kye Sones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a free ride when you′ve already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would′ve thought... it figures
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won a lottery and died the next day
It′s a black fly in your chardonnay
And isn′t it ironic... don't you think
It′s like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you′ve already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would′ve thought... it figures
Mr. "Play It Safe" was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn′t this nice."
And isn't it ironic... don′t you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day
It′s a free ride when you've already paid
It′s the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought... it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything′s okay and everything′s going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam when you′re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10, 000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It′s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don′t you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you′ve already paid
It′s the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would′ve thought... it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny funny way of helping you out
