Harsh Lights lyrics - Fun.

 Oh oh

The barkeep's in a bad mood

Playing with his chains

Talking 'bout a blood moon

Asking how I found this place

My eyes are drained from the one that got away

So tonight I'm going out; tonight I'm gonna stay out

In walks lady long boots looking for a date

I would make the first move but I'm too drunk to enunciate

Never been one to wanna hear about someone's day

So tonight I'm going out; tonight I'm gonna stay out

And it's so hard just to breathe

There's such a fine line between the things you want and the things that you need

So I'm not going to sleep

Slippin' into midnight under harsh lights

And nothing gets me down

Running into old friends; I don't need anymore

Tonight I'm gonna show them

We all got scars

We all got scars

We all got scars

We all got scars so what?

I'm slippin' into midnight under harsh lights

And nothing here is bringing me down

And my heart is always breaking for the ghosts that haunt this room

We fall asleep to revolution

We wake up to another sad excuse

Oh what a shame how we got in our way

So tonight I'm going out; tonight I'm gonna stay out

And it's so hard not to scream

There's such a fine line between the things you are and the things that you've been

Slippin' into midnight under harsh lights

And nothing gets me down

Up above the past loves I don't need anymore

Tonight I'm gonna show them

We all got scars

We all got scars

We all got scars

We all got scars so what?

I'm slippin' into midnight under harsh lights

And nothing here is bringing me down

I'm scared that I'm becoming a satellite

On the sadder side of the moon

Convinced that anyone stood by my side

Now you're on the other side of the room

But I get this funny feeling that tonight is gonna be much better than it's been

I thought that I could keep my eyes open

Until the light shines in

Oh

And it's so hard just to be

There's such a fine line

There's such a fine line

Such a fine line

But I'm not sleeping tonight

Slippin' into midnight on the harsh light

And nothing gets me down

Running into old friends; I don't need anymore

Tonight I'm gonna show them

We all got scars

We all got scars

We all got scars

We all got scars so what?

I'm slippin' into midnight under harsh lights

And nothing here is bringing me down

Nothing here is bringing me down

And nothing here is bringing me down

Jumping The Shark lyrics - Fun.

 Mom, I know I let you down

And though you say these days are happy

Why's the power off and I'm fucked up and

Mom, I know made dad proud

Never say your son's a preacher

When the boy can't fill his sleep

Oh I said

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I want a new life

I started jumping the shark (Oh oh oh oh)

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I want a new life

One as an adult

So I'm coming home tonight

No matter what the cost

And if the plane goes down

Or if the crew can't wake me up

Just know that I'm alright

Oh I was not afraid to die

And even if there's songs to sing

Or grandchildren you'll never meet

It might not be that time

No I was not afraid to die

Cause I put more faith in TV shows

Than I ever have some holy ghost

You know you've played a part

But after everything went dark

I started

I started...

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

Please Leave A Light On When You Go lyrics - Fun.

 How fast can a heart shatter

Before you're walking on splinters?

Your head aches just to feel what it knows

Please leave a light on when you go

How can you fix something

That you can't touch without hurting?

The lesson you learned is leaving you dumb

Please leave a light on when it's done

Standing high above the flood line

Watching all your belongings go by

How can you see the ending

When you're lost at the beginning?

The day hides all that the night left behind

Please turn a light on when it dies

Some Nights (Intro) lyrics - Fun.

There are some nights I hold to every note I ever wrote

Some nights, I say, "Fuck it all!" Stare at the calendar

Waiting for catastrophes, imagining they'd scare me

Into changing whatever it is I am changing into...

And you have every right to be scared.

'Cause there are some nights I hold you close, pushing you to hold me

Or begging you to lock me up, never let me see the world

Some nights, I live in horror of people on the radio

Tea parties and Twitter, I've never been so bitter

And you, why you wanna stay?

Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately?

Lately, I've been going crazy...

And you, why you wanna stay?

Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately?

Lately, I've been fucking crazy...

There are some nights I wait for someone to save us

But I never look inward, try not to look upward

And some nights I pray a sign is gonna come to me

But usually, I'm just trying to get some sleep...

Some nights!

Some Nights lyrics - Fun.

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

Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)

Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)

Most nights I don't know anymore...

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, 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

That's alright (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

Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)

Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)

Most nights I don't know... (oh, 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?

(Come on)

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, that 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"

When I look into my nephew's eyes...

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

Some terrible nights... ah... ["nights" is confirmed by the band's Twitter page]

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, 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...

We Are Young lyrics - Fun. (feat. Janelle Monáe)

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’s 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 trying 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 (Nananananana)

Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The moon is on my side (Nananananana)

I have no reason to run (Nananananana)

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The angels never arrived (Nananananana)

But I can hear the choir (Nananananana)

So will someone come and carry me home (Nananananana)

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

Carry On lyrics - Fun.

Well I woke up to the sound of silence

And cries 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 are to 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.

Whoa!

My head is on fire but my legs are fine.

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 tonight.

'Cause here we are

We are shining stars

We are invincible

We are who we are

On our darkest day

When we’re miles away

Sun will 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.

Oooh.

Oooh.

Oooh.

Oooh.

(No one's ever gonna stop us tonight)

(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight)

(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight)

It Gets Better lyrics - Fun.

What have we done, oh my god

What have we done, oh my god

This is really happening

You never looked so bored

Can you feel my fingernails?

They've never been so short

It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around

It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers

Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

I can taste your summer sweat

It's never been so warm

So can we kick the covers off?

They're always on

It's never been so warm

It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile

If you could see the look that's in your eyes

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers

Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

There's a fire in sky

Some snow on the ground

Not quite enough cigarettes

To calm me down

What have we done, oh my god

What have we done, oh my god

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

(This is really happening)

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

(This is really happening)

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

Why Am I The One lyrics - Fun.

I got enough on my mind

That when she pulls me by the hair,

She hasn't much to hold onto.

She keeping count on her hand:

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

I finish kissing my death,

So now I head back up the steps

Thinking about where I've been.

I mean the sun was never like this.

I wanna feel with the seasons.

I guess it makes sense.

'Cause my life's become as vapid as

A night out in Los Angeles,

And I just wanna stay in bed

and hold you like I used to.

You know that I am home.

So, darling, if you love me,

Would you let me know?

Or go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong.

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

She got enough on her mind

That she feel no sorrow.

I let my fate fill the air,

So now she 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 could go wrong.

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong

Why am I the one always packing up 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.

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

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

I'll move back down...

All Alone lyrics - Fun.

I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir

I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you

She sounds like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep

Now that you're gone, she's all that I've left to hold

And I feel so all alone

No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke

How do you cry with inanimate eyes?

You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone

I gave her to you

I thought you might appreciate

The way that she dances

The painted look upon her face

She must have come from the sun

I want to take her through the park

Where she'd tell me I'm all that she wants

If she could even talk

I feel so all alone

No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke

How do you cry with inanimate eyes?

You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone

And she sits on my shelf

It makes me think of you

The way she carries the things that remind me of who

We used to be before we became antiques

She's a lot like you

But when I hold her too tight, I know she'll break

She just takes some glue to stay

I feel so all alone

No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke

How do you cry with inanimate eyes?

You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone

All Alright lyrics - Fun.

Yeah, it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

Yeah, it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

Well, I got the call soon as the day hit night,

As soon as the headlights lit up the Westside.

I stopped the car and came outside

Cause I know that tone.

I remember the first time

we wished upon parallel lines.

Waiting for a friend to call

and say they're still alive.

I've given everyone I know

a good reason to go.

I was surprised you stuck around

long enough to figure out...

That it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

Yeah, it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

And now all my loves that come back to haunt me,

And my regrets, and texts sent to taunt me.

I never claimed to be more than a one-night stand

And all I've given everyone I know

a good reason to go.

But I came back with the belief

that everyone I love is gonna leave me.

And it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

Yeah, it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest,

but it's all alright.

And I know, oh no,

You've fallen from the sun,

Crashing through the clouds.

I see you burning out.

And I know, oh no,

that I put up a front

But maybe just this once,

let me keep this one.

Yeah, it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

Yeah, it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

Yeah, it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

Yeah, it's all alright

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest

but it's all alright.

One Foot lyrics - Fun.

I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen.

I can’t help but love thinking that everyone doesn’t get it.

To my left is a window.

Where did I go?

My reflection just blends in to rows of clothes

And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless and so...

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don’t need a new love or a new life – just a better place to die.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don’t need a new love or a new life – just a better place to die.

I happen to stumble upon a chapel last night.

And I can’t help but back up when I think of what happens inside.

I got friends locked in boxes (That's no way to live).

What you're callin' a sin isn't up to them.

After all (after all), I thought we were all your children.

But I will die for my own sins – thanks a lot.

We’ll rise up ourselves – thanks for nothing at all,

So up off the ground

Our forefathers are nothing but dust now.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don’t need a new love or a new life – just a better place to die.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don’t need a new love or a new life – just a better place to die.

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth.

I am over twenty-five and I can’t make a name for myself

Some nights I break down and cry

I’m lucky that my father’s still alive

He’s been fighting all his life

And if this is all I’ve ever known then may his soul live on forever in my song.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don’t need a new love or a new life – just a better place to die.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don’t need a new love or a new life – just a better place to die.

In front of the other one

In front of the other one

Just a better place to die.

Stars lyrics - Fun.

Growing old is getting old

I often find myself here thinking

About the birds, the boats, and past loves that flew away or started sinking

And it's crazy here without you

I used to think this all was ours

We'd stay up late, debate on how we'd find our way

Say it's all up in the stars

Some nights I rule the world

With bar lights and pretty girls

But most nights I stay straight and think about my mom

Oh god, I miss her so much

And there are people on the street

They're coming up to me

They're telling me that they like what I do now

And so I tried my best when I took the fall

To get right back up, back in your arms

If you're out here why do I miss you so much

I feel like I had it all

Back before I lost it all

Now I just wait for you to talk to me

But you won't even look at me, baby

And I'd be saying that you

You're always holding on to stars

I think they're better from afar

Cause no one is gonna save us

Oh, and me

Well, I have faded in the dark

So don't you ever kiss me

Don't you wish on me

Why can't you see that no one's gonna save us?

Oh, come on girl

I just need a helping hand

I close my eyes and think about tomorrow

It never came true

It came true

It never came true

Oh, and you

You're always holding on to stars

You're always holding on to stars

Cause no one is gonna save us

Oh, and you

You're always holding on to stars

I think they're better from afar

Because no one is gonna save us

Oh, and me

I have faded in the dark

So don't you ever kiss me

Don't you wish on me

Why can't you see that no one's gonna save us?

No one's gonna save us

No one's gonna save me now

No, no, no

No, no, no

No one's gonna save us

Who we are, who we are

Who you are, who you are

You're always holding on to stars

You're always holding on to stars

You're always holding on to stars

You're always holding on to stars

Out On The Town lyrics - Fun.

I set all my regrets on fire

Cause I know I'll never take the time

To unpack my missteps and call all of our friends

I figured they would take your side

I make the bed, just not that well

Your name comes up a lot

When I talk to my mom

Oh, I think she can tell

I was out on the town

So I came to your window last night

I tried not to throw stones

But I wanted to come inside

Now I'm causing a scene

Thinking you need a reason to smile

Oh no, what have I done?

There's no one to keep me warm

So maybe I should put up a fight

I'll call them back and borrow a box knife

So I can learn to live with all the stupid shit

I've been doing since '99

And I know I could be more clever

And I know I could be more strong

But I'm waiting for the day

You'll come back and say

"Hey, maybe I should change my mind"

I drink a lot

I'm not sure if that's new

But these days when I wake up

From a night I forgot

I just wish that it never came true

I was out on the town

So I came to your window last night

I tried not to throw stones

But I wanted to come inside

Now I'm causing a scene

Thinking you need a reason to smile

Oh no, what have I done?

There's no one to keep me warm

And I know I could be more clever

And I know I could be more strong

And I know I could be more clever

And I know I could be more clever

I knew there'd come a day

When all was said and done

(And I know I could be more clever)

Everything I was

Is everything but gone

(And I know I could be more strong)

All my big mistakes

Are bouncing off your wall

(And I know I could be more clever)

The bottles never break

The sun will never comes

(And I know I could be more clever)

So come on let me in

I will be the sun

(And I know I could be more clever)

I will wake you up

I am who I was

(And I know I could be more strong)

So beat up your heart, oh beat up your heart, oh beat up your heart

(And I know I could be more clever

And I know I could be more)

I was out on the town

So I came to your window last night

I tried not to throw stones

But I wanted to come inside

Now I'm causing a scene

Thinking you need a reason to smile

Oh no, what have I done?

There's no one to keep me warm

Be Calm lyrics - Fun.

As I walk through the streets of my new city

My back feeling much better, I suppose

I've reclaimed the use of my imagination

For better or for worse, I've yet to know, but I

Always knew you'd be the one to understand me,

I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.

Suddenly I'm lost

On my street

On my block

Oh why, Oh why

Oh why haven't you been there for me?

Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?

This time I think it's for real, I can see

All the tree tops turning red

The beggars near bodegas grin at me

I think they want something

I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe

And be calm.

Be calm.

I know you feel like you are breaking down.

I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

Be calm.

I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.

"These days before you speak to me you pause."

"I always see you looking out your window."

"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."

Now every single crack every penny that I pass,

Says I should either leave or pick it up

But with every single buck I've made

I'm saddled with bad luck that came

The moment I was baptized

Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die

If only I could find my people or my place in life

And when they came a'carolin'

So loud, so bright, the theremin

Will lead us to a chorus

Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:

Oh be calm.

Be calm.

I know you feel like you are breaking down.

I know that it gets so hard sometimes,

Be calm.

Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.

You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive

And everything's wrong

It just gets so hard sometimes

Be calm.

I don't remember much that night,

Just walking, thinking fondly of you

Thinking how the worst is yet to come

From that street corner came a song

And I can't remember the man,

The panhandler or his melody.

The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.

Oh be calm, be calm.

I know you feel like you are breaking down.

Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes,

Be calm.

Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.

You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive

And everything's wrong

It just gets so hard sometimes

Be calm, be calm.
