Whoa, whoa
Just when you learned the game of life
All the rules change overnight
Whoa, whoa go figure
It seems so wrong to even try
But taking a chance never felt so right
Whoa, whoa go figure
You have a dream
You wanna be
The center of the story
Just when you think it's gone
You find a way to keep it going on
Sometimes you fall before you fly
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up
Nothing seemed right but turned out fine
Go figure, go figure
Whoa, whoa
It's so dangerous to play it safe
You get what you want by giving it away
Whoa, whoa go figure
Go figure
Your trying so hard to be someone else
When all you needed to be was yourself
Whoa, whoa go figure
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Not everything is what it seems
There's never just one meaning
When life starts making sense
The world is upside down again
Sometimes you fall before you fly
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure, go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up
Nothing seemed right but turned out fine
Go figure, go figure
Whoa, whoa, go figure
Whoa, whoa
Did you really think your destiny was a one way street
You gotta be ready for anything
Just set your whole life free, yeah
Sometimes you fall before you fly
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure, go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up
Nothing seemed right but turned out fine
Go figure, go figure
Sometimes you fall before you fly
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up
Nothing seemed right but turned out fine yeah, yeah
Go figure, go figure
Whoa, whoa go figure
Whoa, whoa go figure
All the rules change overnight
Whoa, whoa go figure
But taking a chance never felt so right
Whoa, whoa go figure
You wanna be
The center of the story
Just when you think it's gone
You find a way to keep it going on
Sometimes you laugh when you should cry
Go figure
When things got messed up
You wanted to give up

I love this song! It's so about me! I'm always screwed up in some way shape or form!
its all about just being a teenager. once you think you know something it changes. and sometimes you mess up. but it always ends up fine. its just about living and making mistakes and being human, basically, i think.
Yea, exactly. The writer used a nice pitch. "Go Figure." Sometimes playing by all the rules isn't enough. And sometimes when you hit rock bottom, you can find what you've needed all along. Everything isn't as it seems. In life, be ready for anything. This song is also about taking a chance.
Man these lyrics hittin' me right here <3
