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.

Benson Hedges lyrics - Fun.

Holy ghosts,

When do you come out to play?

'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,

He'd better start looking today.

Last week my baby hit the slopes.

I spent the weekend setting traps in the road.

I should have been cutting out my eyelids,

you'll never guess what baby did when she got home.

Na na na na

Now at least the birds are singing to me,

but what they're trying to say,

I don't know.

(you're beautiful)

I think they come from the cold

(for all your big mistakes)

I think they come from the cold

(you stayed the same)

to the city that doesn't snow.

So I drove until we both broke down.

I was stranded in a border town

believing the motel TV would bring me to safety,

but between MTV and Mr. O'Reilly

I've come to find, that I can't be defined

so I turned it off, now convinced I would cross

Took one last look at the gold

as it shattered on a mountaintop.

Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony.

But what it's trying to play,

I don't know.

(you're beautiful)

I think it's come from the cold

(for all your big mistakes)

I think it's come from the cold

(you stayed the same)

to the city that doesn't snow.

C'mon Holy ghosts

When do you come out to play?

'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,

He'd better start looking today.

So I can rise with the river

We all float before we sink

So pray for satellites,

Pray for courtesy

and pray that it can climb mountains to me!

I say goodbye to the canyon.

I will set sail to the streets

where I don't care to be forgiven

I want to be forgotten.

I don't care to be forgiven

When Lord I only want to be forgotten!

Now I receive a call from my family

and what they started to say

brought me home.

(you're beautiful)

They think I'm beautiful

(for all your big mistakes)

They think I'm beautiful

(you're beautiful)

for all my big mistakes.

All The Pretty Girls lyrics - Fun.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.

So I call your name, cross my fingers

Uncross the others, hesitate.

Oh, I don't think straight with nothing to prove.

I don't wanna say I'm leaving

I will stay until the weekend.

And you can take all your things;

The boxes and rings and get going.

'Cause I've been waiting for...

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.

Let it be, you'll come to me with the look in your eyes.

Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?

I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

So I call (I call) you out (out, baby)

Just to feel a little bit better about myself (he does)

I do (you do), baby, I do, I do, I do

Until their lips start to move,

And their friends talk music

I say, "I've never heard the tune."

But I have, I just hate the band

'Cause they remind me of you.

Every single night ends up the same,

I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.

(Over and over and over)

I think it's striking me out.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night

Let it be, you'll come with me with the look in your eyes.

Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?

I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

But not you,

You still wear boots and your hair is too long

And then this one doesn't want to admit she's fallen in love

Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do

When all the pretty girls can't measure to you?

I don't understand your reasons

Please just stay over the weekend

You can't take all those things

That define you and me

Everything we've become,

You're all that I need

Please don't make me face my generation alone.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.

Let it be, you'll come with me with the look in your eyes.

Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?

I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

But not you,

I feel your faith is destroying the world

And then this one never really understood

The 80s is over and done

Oh c'mon, what's a boy to do

When all the pretty girls can't measure to you?

Say, all the pretty girls on a Saturday night

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night

I Wanna Be The One lyrics - Fun.

Were you named for the river that surrounds

All my biggest my mistakes or the way that I made it out

All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things

Until the day she handed you to me

Now for all the steps you'll take and all you'll overcome

I wanna be the one to put in a song

Take every single tear for all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side

She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived

And I know that it's been sang before but you're my human holiday

I put my hands to the table and dare say the love of my life

And your brother with his best friend

Shares a name I'm gonna need

Really couldn't bring me down

For everything you lost and all you overcome

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Take every single tear for all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song and make it last forever

Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past

Its sends its call out to the moon

And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds

It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound

I wanna be the one, I wanna be one, I wanna be the one

For everything you lost and all you overcome

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Take every single tear for all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

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.
