Funny
Zedd & Jasmine Thompson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

The curtains are closed now
Nothing to see
But a dozen dying roses at our feet
Your timing is perfect
Ironic to me
Showing up the moment that you shouldn't be

Last time I checked


You're the one that left
Last words you said
That you couldn't care less

It's funny how you miss me more than you could ever love me
How you couldn't give me everything and now you want it from me
Yeah, it's funny how it's different now that I got somebody
Yeah it's funny
Ooh

Yeah it's funny, funny, funny, how you answer, answer, answer
'Cause his lips seem, lips seem, lips seem, both my hands are on his body
Yeah it's funny how it's different now that I got somebody
Yeah it's funny
Ooh

Sending a message
Through mutual friends
It's like I'm talking to you using them
You heard I was happy
And I heard you're not
I guess freedom didn't free you like you thought

Last time I checked
You're the one that left
Last words you said
That you couldn't care less

It's funny how you miss me more than you could ever love me
How you couldn't give me everything and now you want it from me
Yeah, it's funny how it's different now that I got somebody
Yeah it's funny
Ooh

Yeah it's funny, funny, funny, how you answer, answer, answer
'Cause his lips seem, lips seem, lips seem, both my hands are on his body
Yeah it's funny how it's different now that I got somebody
Yeah it's funny
Ooh

It's funny how you miss me more than you could ever love me
How you couldn't give me everything and now you want it from me
Yeah, it's funny how it's different now that I got somebody
Yeah it's funny (yeah it's funny)
Ooh

Yeah, it's funny how you're calling couldn't answer if I wanted
'Cause his lips are on my lips and both my hands are on his body
Yeah it's funny how it's different now that I got somebody
Yeah it's funny
Ooh

Yeah it's funny, funny, funny, how you answer, answer, answer
'Cause his lips seem, lips seem, lips seem, both my hands are on his body
Yeah, it's funny how it's different now that I got somebody
Yeah it's funny
Ooh

Who's laughing now?
Who's laughing now?
Ooh

Who's laughing now?

Who's laughing now?
Ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zedd and Jasmine Thompson’s song "Funny" are about a person who left and now regrets losing the speaker’s affection, while the speaker has moved on and is now with someone else. The song starts with the suggestion that what’s left after the relationship is over is a dozen dying roses, which symbolizes the end of their love. The speaker then talks about the irony of the person showing up right at the moment they shouldn't be there. The repetition of the word “last” implies that the speaker has moved on and that the person who left is trying to make up for their mistake. The speaker finds it amusing how the person who once couldn't give them everything, now wants it all from them, and how they miss the speaker more than they ever loved them. The song ends with the repeated question, "who's laughing now?", suggesting that the person who left may now be filled with regret while the speaker has already found reasons to smile.


Overall, "Funny" is a song about the irony of love and how people can come to regret what they lose after it's gone. The song highlights the idea that sometimes when we lose something, we realize its value only after it's gone. In this case, the person who left now wants the speaker back, but they have already moved on and found happiness with someone else who they chose to be with.

Your suspensful beat inclines, such as 2:43, have, and did again, bring me to pure emotion.

It's genuinely astounding. Always will be.

I will NEVER be able to live without music like this

Its amazing

Thank you

I miss these types of songs from the EDM artists. It just overall sounds different, both melody and vocals. It reminds me of summer in 2010s and songs from that era. Crazy to realize the 10s is in the past now.

This definitely needs more recognition like this feels so nostalgic yet the song is just released recently. Zedd definitely has that kind of power in making music he is able to make the listeners feel some type of way. His songs always hits hard even the old ones!
