SOME NIGHTS (INTRO) LYRICS - Fun.

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

Some nights, I say "fuck it all" and stare at the calendar

Waiting for catastrophes, imagine when they scare me

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

And you have every right to be scared.

Cos 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!

WE ARE YOUNG LYRICS - Fun.

Girl 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

I have no reason to run

So will someone come and carry me home tonight

The angels never arrived

But I can hear the choir

So will someone come and carry me home

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home tonight

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

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

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

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

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

Why don't we break the rules already?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cause I could use some friends for a change

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

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

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

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

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

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

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

Washed my hands of that for this?

I miss my mom and dad for this?

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

When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on

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

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 is not one for the folks at home; I'm 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 called "love"

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

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

Some terrible lies...ahhh...

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

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

I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen

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

It's for the best you didn't listen

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

IT GETS BETTER LYRICS - Fun.

What are we doing, oh my god

What are we doing, 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 are we doing, oh my god

What are we doing, 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 been sleeping on my side

I finished 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 season. I guess it makes sense

cause my lifes become as vapid as a night out in Los Angeles

and I just want to 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 and I the one always packing all 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 all my stuff

She got enough on her mind

that she feel no sorrow

I let my fate fill the air

so now she rollin down her 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 all my stuff

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

Why am I the one always packing all my stuff

I think I kinda like it but I might of 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 thinkin that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packin all stuff

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

Why am I the one always packin all stuff

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

Why am I the one always packin all my stuff

I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much

and 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 the 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 are

And I feel so all alone

I can't be 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 are

And I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone

And she seems...my shell

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 are

And I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone

ALL ALRIGHT LYRICS - Fun.

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 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.

My regrets and texts sent to taunt me.

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

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.

And it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest,

but it's all all

And I know, ohh nooo,

You've fallen from the sun.

Crashing through the clouds.

I see you burning out.

And I know, ohh nooo,

that I put up a front

But maybe, just this once,

let me keep this one.

And it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest,

but it's all alright.

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 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 everyone doesn't get it.

To my left there's a window.

Where did I go?

My reflection just blends in. and bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless in a 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.

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's happens inside.

I got friends looked in boxes. And no way to live.

But you call it 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 raise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all, so up off the ground up for fathers who 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 know 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 figure 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, but 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 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, but 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 would 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 sorrow 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 [?]

(And I know I could be more strong)

Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open 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, but you need a reason to smile

Oh no, what have I done?

There's no one to keep me warm

CARRY ON LYRICS - Fun.

Carry on

Well I woke up to the sound of silence

the cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight

and I found you with a bottle of wine

your head in the curtains

and heart like the fourth of July

You swore and said

We are not

We are not shining stars

This I know

Cause I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that

I've closed enough windows

to know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends

at the edge of the night

At a bar off 75

And we talked and talked

about how our parents will die

All our neighbours and wives

But I like to think

I can cheat it all

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

And it's nice to know

When I was left for dead

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

I am not the ghost you want of me

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Woah

My head is on fire

But my legs are fine

Cause after all they are mine

Lay your clothes down on the floor

Close the door

Hold the phone

Show me how

No one's ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are

We are shining stars

We are invincible

We are who we are

On our darkest day

When we're miles away

So we'll come

We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on
