Old man turned 98,
he won the lottery
and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon,
two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
It's like rallying on your
wedding day
It's a free ride that your body paid
It's a glorified that
you just didn't take
But who would've thought it'd figure?
He played safe, but was afraid to fly
He bought a big suitcase
and kissed his kids goodbye
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, huh,
don't you think?
It's like raining on
your wedding day
It's a free ride that you wanted, babe
It's a good invite that you
just didn't take
But who would've thought
it's bigger
Love is a funny way of
sticking up for you
when you think everything's okay
and everything's going right
Love is a funny way of helping
you out
when you think everything's going wrong
and everything goes up in your face
Traffic jam when you're already late
An d no smoking sign on
your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons
when all you need is a knife
It's like 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, we need you to think
It's like raining on your wedding day
It's a free ride that you bought today
It's a good advice that
you just didn't take
And who would've thought
it's bigger
Well, just life is a funny way
of sleeping up on you
And life is a funny, funny way
of helping you out, helping you out.
