At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be) lyrics - Fun.

Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them?

Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,

They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.

C’mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?

I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.

Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.

I don’t want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time

Oh, oh, at least I’m not as sad as I used to be.

And they said,

"Hey Nate, yeah, it’s been a while,

Are you gonna sing?"

And I began to smile and I said,

"You should’ve seen me a couple of years ago,

I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing."

C’mon can you count all the loves that didn’t last?

It’s such a gas when you bring up the past.

Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.

I don’t want no savior baby, I just wanna get it out.

Oh oh, oh, At least I’m not as sad as I used to be.

Oh oh, oh, At least I’m not as sad as I used to be.

At least I’m not as sad as I used to be.

And they said we would’ve seen you two years ago

Had you stuck around or come out to a show,

But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,

While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....

So I left, that is it. That’s my life, nothing is sacred.

I don’t keep friends, I keep acquainted,

I’m not a prophet, but I’m here to profit.

That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, nothing is sacred.

I don’t fall in love, I just fake it.

I don’t fall in love. I don’t fall in love.

Light A Roman Candle With Me lyrics - Fun.

Light a roman candle with me.

Just a roman candle,

You can wear your sandals

And I'll pour you just one cup of tea.

Then you can go and rest

You haven't seen my best, so...

Just spend an evening with me.

Just a lazy evening,

Then you could be leaving

Or we could stay and talk until three.

I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so...

Light a roman candle with me.

Just a roman candle.

Just a perfect apple.

Light a roman candle with me.

Just a roman candle.

Just a perfect apple.

If we were honest

And both wrote a sonnet

Together a sandwich with everything on it,

At least we would know

That the sparks didn't glow

But we owe it to ourselves to try,

So we aim and ignite!

So often I call and I plead with you:

"Give me a chance!"

It's not often that I understand

The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right.

So don't think of tomorrow tonight.

Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old

But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone, so alive.

You look for a legend,

I'm looking for common ground.

Your heart isn't breaking,

And mine isn't making a sound.

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old, so...

Light a roman candle with me.

Just a roman candle.

Just a perfect apple.

Walking The Dog lyrics - Fun

Walking alone 'cause the night is dead.

Crossed my mind when I crossed the bridge.

Have you lost your mind,

And your wrist got bruised,

And you wanted better love

Well, it's sleeping in your bedroom.

Hold on,

Stay on my side,

Don't go.

If you could see me

Whoever I am.

It's not like a movie,

It's not all skin and bones.

So come on love

(come on, come one, come all and go)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

I will not let you go.

Now I'm walking alone 'cause the night is dead.

My feet don't glide like they did back then,

When I called you up so we could shoot the moon.

These days I'm left to howl in tune.

Hearts do break

And I must admit

I've got a better set of chords,

So I might have been faking it.

Think I really only cried just once.

If you could see me

Whoever I am.

It's not like a movie,

It's not all skin and bones.

So come on love

(come on, come one, come all and go)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

I will not let you go,

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

I will not let you go.

After all the shows,

After the boys of summer had gone

Amid all the confusion

These friends I've been losing

I always thought from the start

I'd be the one moving on.

I guess I'll never know

Where all the boys of summer will go

But I'll miss what me made

All the days were not wasted.

There are some things I may never know.

Have you lost your mind,

And your wrist got bruised

And you wanted better love

Well it's sleeping in your bedroom.

Hold on,

Stay on my side,

Don't go.

If you could see me

Whoever I am.

It's not like a movie,

It's not all skin and bones.

So come on love

(come on, come one, come all and go)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

I will not let you go.

If you could see me

Whoever I am.

It's not like a movie,

It's not all skin and bones.

So come on love

(come on, come one, come all and go)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

I will not let you go.

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

I will not let you go.

Barlights lyrics - Fun.

Never in all of my life

Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city

on a Saturday night,

all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."

But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.

I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.

And I feel alive.

We met up once we'd settled the sun

Between the heat and the work week

the fear is we could use some sleep

but sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds

and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.

I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was.

I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block

that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much,"

when the truth is, I'm just getting started.

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

and I feel alive.

One of us sings, and one of us drinks,

and one of us has nothing at all.

So he calls us all sheep

I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.

(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)

The he swears he's gotta take this call

Man, I get scared he's gonna leave us too soon.

We were the get rich quick kids,

We never got it right

So we settled for the center of town

Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight

got the blond one staring me down.

And I really wanna take a swing

I can't help but remember James Dean

See we are part of the few who agree

that hey, he lived life fast

but he died.

He died.

He died.

Me, I'm gonna live forever.

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

and for the first time

in a long time

I feel alive

The Gambler lyrics - Fun.

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

All the kids have bloomed 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 'til it's our time

So just take my hand, you 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 complains

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

Like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago to this day,

You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time

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

So just take my hand, you 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 dog, you say that I should never feed them what is ours

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

Take Your Time (Coming Home) lyrics - Fun.

Take your time coming home.

Hear the wheels as they roll.

Let your lungs fill up with smoke.

Forgive everyone.

She is here and now she is gone

We had plans, we can't help but make love.

It's a beautiful thing when you love somebody,

and I love somebody.

Yeah I love somebody.

Take your time coming home.

Hear the wheels as they roll.

Let your lungs fill up with smoke.

Forgive everyone.

I don't think I'd been misled,

it was a rock 'n' roll band,

I'm still standing,

Take your time coming home.

See, of everyone who called,

Very few said "We believe in you."

The overwhelming choice said

I'm just a boy inside a voice

and if that's true, is it true, if it's true,

then what the fuck have I been doing the last six years?

How did I end up here?

How did I find love and conquer all of my fears?

See, I made it out.

Out from under the sun.

And the truth is that I feel better because I've forgiven everyone.

Now I'm not scared

of a sound

or the states

or the stages.

I'm not scared

I've got friends,

took my call,

came courageous.

Now I feel like I am home.

One more thing, I keep having this dream

where I'm standing on a mountain

Looking out, on the street

I can hear kids in low-income housing singing

"We're through with causing a scene"

I don't know what it means

But I too, am through with causing a scene.

She is here and now I think she's ready to go.

For every love that's lost I heard a new one comes.

So come on with me, sing along with me,

Let the wind catch your feet.

If you love somebody,

you'd better let them know.

Take your time coming home.

Stitch Me Up lyrics - Fun.

It's how we do it!

Our feet in the sand

It's how we do it!

Our heads in our hands

It's how we do it!

I'm not lookin' for a reason to go

It's how we do it!

We did it, we done it, but never before

Oh, I know

You put the keys in the car and drive

I'm gonna make sure the money is right

I know we can do it if we do it all night

You put the keys in the car and drive.

It's how we do it!

It's how we do it,

If I lose you, I'm losing control.

So snap your fingers, pull the trigger

Cause I figure we're better as gold.

It's how we do it

On a sattelite, lookin' for a signal to space

It's how we do it

We did it, we done it, let's do it again.

You put the keys in the car and drive

I'm gonna make sure the money is right

I know we can do it if we do it all night

You put the keys in the car and drive

I'll find somebody who will stitch me up

Though I've never been better when we're falling apart

I know we can do it if we do it all night

You put the keys in the car and drive

You put the keys in the car and drive.

For all that I know,

It's gonna come back tenfold.

For all that I know,

It's gonna come back tenfold.

But darling, oh no

I don't think

that we'll make it out alive

Darling, oh no

We won't make it out alive.

Now I'm lost

With each passing day

So if you come in, then come quick

'Cause I'm scared I'm floating away.

It's how we do it

For the first time, I don't need a reason to go

It's how we do it, 

We done it, let's do it some more.

You put the keys in the car and drive

I'm gonna make sure the money is right

I know we can do it if we do it all night

You put the keys in the car and drive

I'll find somebody who will stitch me up

Though I've never been better when we're falling apart

I know we can do it if we do it all night

You put the keys in the car and drive

You put the keys in the car and drive

You put the keys in the car and drive!

Believe In Me lyrics - Fun.

My Christmas list is filling up with stuff I don't need

I was hoping for new shoes, the kind with the lights

I was naughty in high school, but now I'm trying to be nice

Even Santa he is thankful for the little things

(Like what kind of stuff Santa?)

Thanks to the reindeer that pull me on my sleigh

Thanks for the moonlight that guides me on my way

And I won't be greedy, I don't ask for much these days

I just need one thing, please believe in me

Well, Christmas comes just once a year

I was hoping for snow shoes, or maybe a bike

But when I asked them for fun, they bought me "Aim and Ignite"

Even Santa he is thankful for the little things (Sweet Santa)

Thanks to the reindeer that pull me on my sleigh

Thanks for the moonlight that guides me on my way

Thanks for the memories 'cause they keep us safe and remind me that it's okay to be lonely

Please believe in me.

(Hey, Mary-Kate, what are you getting Ashley for christmas? 

Um, I actually just got her a Bowflex. 

Shut Up! I was gonna get her a Bowflex.

Well, do you want to go shopping for something else?

No, I'm going home.)

C'mon lyrics - Fun. (with Panic! at the disco)

[Brendon]

It’s getting late, and I

Cannot seem to find my way home tonight

Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole

Falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone

What would my head be like

If not for my shoulders

Or without your smile

May it follow you forever

May it never leave you

To sleep in the stone,

May we stay lost on our way home

[Brendon]

C’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me

I’d like to believe in all the possibilities

[Nate]

If I should die tonight

May I first just say I’m sorry

For I, never felt like anybody

I am a man of many hats although I

Never mastered anything

When I am ten feet tall

I’ve never felt much smaller, since the fall

Nobody seems to know my name

So don’t leave me to sleep all alone

May we stay lost on our way home?

[Brendon and Nate]

C’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me

I’d like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon and Nate]

C’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me

I’d like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon]

Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate

[Brendon and Nate]

It could leave, it could leave, come the morning

[Nate]

Celebrate the night

It’s the fall before the climb

[Brendon and Nate]

Shall we sing, shall we sing, 'til the morning

[Brendon]

If I fall forward, you fall flat

[Brendon and Nate]

And if the sun should lift me up

Would you come back? C'mon!

[music interlude]

[Brendon]

C’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me

I’d like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon and Nate]

C’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me

I’d like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon and Nate]

So c’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me

I’d like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon screams] YEAH YEAH YEAH!

[Brendon]

It’s getting late and I, cannot seem to find my way home tonight.

Queen Of The Slipstream lyrics - Fun.

(originally by Van Morrison)

You're the Queen of the slipstream

With eyes that shine

You have crossed many waters to be here

You have drank of the fountain of innocence

And experienced the long cold wintry years.

There's a dream where the contents are visible

Where the poetic champions compose

Will you breathe not a word of this secrecy, and

Will you still be my special rose?

I'm goin' away far across the sea

But I'll be back for you

Tell you everything I know, I know, I know baby

Everything is true

Will the blush still remain

On your cheeks my love

In the light, in the light, in the light always seen

In your head?

Gold and sliver they placed

At your feet my dear

But I know you chose me.

Instead

Well I'm, I'm goin' away far across the sea

But I'll be back, I'll be back, I'll be back for you

And you tell me everything I know

Baby tell me everything is true

You're the Queen of the slipstream

I love you so

You have crossed many waters to be here

And you drink, and you drink, and you drink at the fountains of innocence

And experienced, you know very well

[ad libs]

Sight Of The Sun lyrics - Fun.

For once there is nothing up my sleeve

Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me

I used to run at first sight of the sun

Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up

The city outside still sounds like it’s on fire

You put on new sheets, the white flag of a Saturday night

I know we stayed up talking in circles

But I like to think the symmetry will keep me close to you

For everyone, I’m out to prove wrong, you keep the light on

The only one, you know me better than the truth

So, despite what I’ve done, I pray to God that we can move on

'Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life has yet to lose

And for once there is nothing up my sleeve

Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me

I used to run at first sight of the sun

Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up

I lay here waiting for you to wake up

So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go

I can’t bare to sleep without you in my arms

I know we got caught up sifting through a crowd of pebbles and lures

But you must not let them take you

They don’t know you like I do

For once there is nothing up my sleeve

Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me

I used to run at first sight of the sun

Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up

I lay here waiting for you to wake up

Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun strikes through the room

I used to blame it on the Queen’s Walk in down 7th avenue

It’s been years now since we moved

I gotten good at an excuse

You know I try not to speak superlatives

But it’s impossible to you

The city outside is nothing but a flicker now

You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights

I start to think you’ll make a beautiful mother I,

I like to think I have everything I want from this life

Sleigh Ride lyrics - Fun.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, 

Ring-ting-tingling too, 

Come on, it's lovely weather 

For a sleigh ride together with you, 

Outside the snow is falling 

And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo", 

Come on, it's lovely weather 

For a sleigh ride together with you. 

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,

Let's go, let's look at the show, 

We're riding in a wonderland of snow. 

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, 

It's grand, just holding your hand, 

We're riding along with a song 

Of a wintry wonderland. 

Our cheeks are nice and rosy, 

And comfy cozy are we, 

We're snuggled up together 

Like two birds of a feather would be, 

Let's take that road before us, 

And sing a chorus or two, 

Come on, it's lovely weather 

For a sleigh ride together with you. 

There's a birthday party 

At the home of Farmer Gray, 

It'll be the perfect ending to a perfect day, 

We'll be singing the songs 

We love to sing without a single stop, 

At the fireplace while we watch 

The chestnuts pop.

There's a happy feeling 

Nothing in the world can buy, 

When they pass around the coffee

And the pumpkin pie, 

It'll nearly be like a picture print 

By Currier and Ives, 

These wonderful things are the things 

We remember through all our lives! 

Let's take that road before us 

And sing a chorus or two, 

As you one can see, it's lovely weather 

For a sleigh ride together with you, and you, and you.

Let's take that road before us 

And sing a chorus or two, 

As you one can see, it's lovely weather 

For a sleigh ride together with you.
