So Funny
Love's Laughter and Tears: Unveiling the Wit in Haley Blais' 'So Funny'
Lyrics
Hold me down until he leaves
Feeling restrained until another person departs
Still wearing that stupid shirt I see
Noticing someone still wearing a memorable or significant shirt
So much for breaking bread, rejected in my own bed
Disappointment in a failed attempt at intimacy, feeling rejected
I guess some things are fated from the seed
Acceptance of predetermined outcomes or destinies from the beginning
Hold a mirror to my face
Reflection on oneself, possibly feeling replaced or overshadowed
Someone has gone and took my place
A realization that someone else has taken one's position
I know that my eyes are blue but can you give me another clue
Seeking more understanding or clues about one's identity
I only know myself from what they say
Self-awareness only through external perceptions and opinions
I never knew a girl could be so funny
Discovering unexpected humor in a girl's behavior
You got me laughing into my sleeve
Laughing discreetly or privately about the situation
No missing pieces here yet I went running
No apparent missing elements, yet still choosing to distance oneself
But I was wrong and so I guess the joke's on me
Realizing a misjudgment and becoming the subject of the joke
Bated breath a clever wit
Anticipation and a sharp sense of humor
The sweetest fruit without the pit
Enjoying the best things in life without the negative aspects
Seen it all a dime a dozen but now that pit's inside my stomach
Encountering common experiences, but now feeling a deep emotional impact
Are you too scared to just acknowledge it?
Questioning if the other person is afraid to acknowledge the impact
That you never knew a girl could be so funny
Reiteration of the surprising humor in a girl's actions
I got you laughing into your sleeve
The other person finding the situation amusing
No missing pieces here yet I went running
No visible issues, yet choosing to distance oneself again
But I was wrong and so I guess the joke's on me
Realizing the misjudgment, and the joke being on the speaker
But I was wrong and so I guess the joke's on me
Reiteration of the realization and being the subject of the joke
Found myself inside a cab at a stop light
Describing a moment of vulnerability in a cab at a stop light
I like crying inside vehicles at night
Expressing a preference for emotional release in the privacy of a vehicle at night
But it gets easier when all the lights go down
Finding solace when external distractions diminish
To avoid explaining the tears of a clown
Choosing to hide emotions to avoid explaining them to others
You never knew a girl could be so funny
Reiteration of the unexpected humor in a girl's behavior
I got you laughing until you bleed
Amusing the other person to the point of bleeding laughter
No missing pieces here yet I went running
Choosing to distance oneself again despite no apparent issues
But I was wrong and so I guess the joke's on me
Realizing the misjudgment once more, with the joke on the speaker
I never knew a girl could be so funny
Reiteration of the surprising humor in a girl's actions
You got me laughing into my sleeve
The other person finding the situation amusing again
No missing pieces here yet I went running
No visible issues, yet choosing to distance oneself once more
But I was wrong and so I guess the joke's on me
Realizing the misjudgment again, and the joke being on the speaker
But I was wrong and so I guess the joke's on me
Reiteration of the realization and being the subject of the joke once more
