Fun. - Why Am I The One Lyrics

Fun. - Why Am I The One Video

I've got enough on my mind,

That when she pulls me by the hand

She hasn't much to hold onto.

She's keeping count on her hands

One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side.

 

I've finished kissing my death

So now I head back up the steps.

Thinking about where I've been,

I mean it's always never like this.

I wanna feel with the seasons.

I guess it makes sense because my life's become as vapid as

A night out in Los Angeles.

And I just wanna stay in bed.

 

I hold you like I used to.

You know that I am home.

So darling if you love me

Would you let me know?

 

Well go on, go on, go on

If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come.

Why am I the one

Always packing all my stuff?

 

For once, for once, for once

I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong.

Why am I the one

Always packing all my stuff?

 

She got enough on her mind

But now she feels no sorrow.

I let my faith fill the air

So now she's rolling down the window.

Never been one to hold on

But I need a last breath.

So I ask if she remembers when

She used to come and visit me,

We were fools to think that nothing would go wrong.

 

Well go on, go on, go on

If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come.

Why am I the one

Always packing all my stuff?

 

For once, for once, for once

I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong.

Why am I the one

Always packing all my stuff?

 

I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much.

 

I'll move back down

To this western town.

When they find me out

Make no mistake about it.

I'll move back down

To this western town.

When they find me out

Make no mistake about it.

(I'll move back down)

(To this western town.)

 

Well go on, go on, go on

If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come.

Why am I the one

Always packing all my stuff?

 

Well go on, go on, go on

If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come.

Why am I the one

Always packing all my stuff?

 

For once, for once, for once

I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong.

Why am I the one

Always packing all my stuff?

 

I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much.

I'll move back down

Fun. - The Gambler Lyrics

Fun. - The Gambler Video

Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy

All the kids are bloom from babies into flowers in our eyes

We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden

I don't care to beg your pardon, we should live until we die

 

We were barely eighteen when we crossed collective hearts

It was cold, but it got warm when you barely crossed my eye

And then you turned, put out your hand and you asked me to dance

I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight

 

I swear when I grow up I won't just buy you a rose

I will buy the flower shop and you will never be lonely

For even if the sun stops waking up over the fields

I will not leave, I will not leave till it's on time

So just take my hand and know that I will never leave your side

 

It was the winter of '86, all the fields had frozen over

So we moved to Arizona to save our only son

And now he's turned into a man, though he thinks just like his mother

He believes we're all just lovers, he sees hope in everyone

 

And even though she moved away, we always get calls from our daughter

She has eyes just like her father's, they are blue when skies are gray

And just like him she never stops, never takes the day for granted

Works for everything that's handed to her, never once complained

 

You think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away

But like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago

To this day, you swore you'd be here till we decide that it's our time

But it's not time, you never quit in all your life

So just take my hand and know that I will never leave your side

You're the love of my life, you know that I will never leave your side

 

You come home from work, and you kiss me on the eye

You curse the dogs, you say that I should never feed them what is ours

And so we move out to the garden, look at everything we've grown

And the kids are coming home so I'll set the table; you can make the fire

Fun. - Some Nights Lyrics

Fun. - Some Nights Video

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck

Some nights, I call it a draw

Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle

Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off

 

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know anymore...

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

 

This is it, boys, this is war what are we waiting for?

Why don't we break the rules already?

I was never one to believe the hype save that for the black and white

I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style

 

And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight

She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am

Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...

 

Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end

Cause I could use some friends for a change

And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again

Some nights, I always win, I always win...

 

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know... (come on)

 

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?

Washed my hands of that for this?

I miss my mom and dad for this?

 

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are

When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on

Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!

 

Well, this is it guys, that is all five minutes in and I'm bored again

Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands

This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go

Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

 

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call love

But when I look into my nephew's eyes...

Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...

Some terrible nights...ahhh...

 

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

 

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me

I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance... oh...

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance... oh...

Fun. - We Are Young Lyrics

Fun. - We Are Young Video

Give me a second I, I need to get my story straight

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State

My lover, she is waiting for me just across the bar

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar

 

And I know I gave it to you months ago

I know you're trying to forget

But between the drinks and subtle things

The holes in my apologies, you know

I'm tryin' hard to take it back

 

So if by the time the bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home

 

Tonight, we are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight, we are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

 

Now, I know that I'm not

All that you got

I guess that I, I just thought

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart

But our friends are back

So let's raise a toast

'Cause I found someone to carry me home

 

Tonight, we are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight, we are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

 

Carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na)

Just carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na)

Carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na)

Just carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na)

 

The moon is on my side

I have no reason to run

So will someone come and carry me home tonight?

The angels never arrived

But I can hear the choir

So will someone come and carry me home?

 

Tonight, we are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight, we are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

 

So if by the time the bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home tonight

Fun. - Carry On Lyrics

Fun. - Carry On Video

Well I woke up to the sound of silence

The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight

And I found you with a bottle of wine

Your head in the curtains

And heart like the Fourth of July

 

You swore and said

We are not

We are not shining stars

This I know

I never said we are

 

Though I've never been through hell like that

I've closed enough windows

To know you can never look back

 

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

 

Carry on, carry on

 

So I met up with some friends

At the edge of the night

At a bar off 75

And we talked and talked

About how our parents will die

All our neighbours and wives

 

But I like to think

I can cheat it all

To make up for the times I've been cheated on

And it's nice to know

When I was left for dead

I was found and now I don't roam these streets

I am not the ghost you want of me

 

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

 

Woah

My head is on fire

But my legs are fine

Cause after all they are mine

Lay your clothes down on the floor

Close the door

Hold the phone

Show me how

No one's ever gonna stop us now

 

Cause we are

We are shining stars

We are invincible

We are who we are

On our darkest day

When we're miles away

So we'll come

We will find our way home

 

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

 

Carry on, carry on
