Don't Be Funny
Navigating Love's Labyrinth: Dragonette's 'Don't Be Funny' Insights
Lyrics
It's typical, another game of push and pull
Describes a common situation of give-and-take dynamics in a relationship.
There's nothing wrong but there is something going on
Nothing overtly incorrect, but there's an underlying issue.
You float away, a little further everyday
Your distance from me increases gradually.
I'm looking at the stars and you're looking out at empty space
I'm contemplating life's possibilities while you seem disconnected.
Sometimes, sometimes it comes in the dark
Sometimes, the issue arises unexpectedly.
Swimming inside your head, sinking into your heart
Your thoughts and emotions consume you.
I'm looking for another sign, you'll shake it off your mind
I seek a clue while you brush it off.
Where you been all this time? You kiss different
Questioning your absence and noticeable change in behavior.
Hey, now don't be funny, ha, ha, you're acting funny
Asking you to stop acting strangely.
Come back, where are you gone?
Where did you disappear to?
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
I sense you've been away too long.
Where's Mr. Sunny? Hands up, give me the money
Inquiring about someone's cheerful presence; a request for something.
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious
Not finding it funny, despite the irony in the situation.
Just stop the clock and look around at what you've got
Pause and appreciate what's in your life.
Everyone comes a little undone
People face challenges but it's manageable.
But it's better than you thought
It's not as bad as initially perceived.
Time, time's gone ticking by
Time passing by.
Pinch me, I'm still alive, give me just a little smile, give me a sign
Requesting a small gesture or sign of positivity.
You'll shake it off of your mind
Brushing off concerns or thoughts.
Where you been all this time, baby?
Asking about your whereabouts lately.
You've been so different
Noticing a distinct change in you.
Hey, now don't be funny, ha, ha, you're acting funny
Requesting you to stop acting oddly.
Come back, where are you gone?
Questioning your absence.
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
Feeling like you've been distant for too long.
Where's Mr. Sunny? Hands up, give me the money
Asking for something akin to brightness or cheerfulness.
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious
Despite not finding it amusing, there's an ironic element.
I find myself imagining it sometimes
Imagining a positive scenario together.
The two of us on a roller coaster ride
Visualizing a shared experience with ups and downs.
Sooner or later if we run off the track
Even if we derail, confident we'll recover.
We'll get it back don't ever doubt it so why not forget about it
Encouragement to let go of worries.
Hey, now don't be funny, ha, ha, you're acting funny
Requesting you to stop behaving oddly.
Come back, where are you gone?
Asking where you've been.
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
Sense of your prolonged absence.
Where's Mr. Sunny? Hands up, give me the money
Inquiring about someone's sunny disposition.
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious
Not finding humor despite the irony.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Expressing in a vocal manner.
