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.

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.
