Fun.: One Foot (LYRIC VIDEO)

LYRICS
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 there's a window
Where did I go?
My reflection just blends in to rows of clothes
And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless in a song

I'll 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'll 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
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'll 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'll 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'll 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'll 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

I appreciate the fact that the converse look like they are actually worn and not a shiny new pair they bought just for the video. I think a worn pair of shoes fits the song much better.

[samschiang]

this is possibly one of the most ridiculously awesome lyric videos I've seen in a long time.

[YuukiHyouketsu]

I love when Fun flexes their musical creativity like this. Their rhythms tend to take on this cool, marching band feel, and their lyrics make you think.
On a side note, while watching this video I'm caught between being mesmerized by the different fonts and text flow, and being dizzy from all the spinning.

I love this song because my dad was diagnosed with Leukemia and when Nate was talking about his dad and said he was fighting all his life, that spoke to me

[devonrose]

The commercial before the video was a video for converse. Priceless.

[lisaandreozzi]

dude this is the coolest lyric video i've seen in years

[MrSmashingpumpkins]

Was a banger 8 years ago and is still a banger today ❤️

[MidasOfMesses]

I love how everyone is debating about religion and I'm here just thinking about how I can make those shoes for myself

[Ayelen]

It just doesnt matter how many times i watch this, i find myself astonished at the beauty of both the song and the video. Truly amazing.

"Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside, now fill the world with music, love, and pride.” ~Lin-Manuel Miranda

[cosmicriptid]

This entire song is just irritated sarcasm and I love it.

[ravencarino]

You cant simply hate FUN's Music.

[YesThisIsJed]

I've listened to the Some Nights album way too many times... I was waiting for "Stars" to start after the song ended ._.

[zbray]

"we'll rise up ourselves, thanks for nothing at all" I feel ya bro

[rodlekmoodmf]

If we all learn to just put one foot in front of the other, instead of worrying about societal norms and conforming to what society believes we should be, and just learn to be individuals. We all rely too much on religion, the media, and others to define who we are.

Be who you want to be. Be the best you can be.

Strive for it until you are, and strive to maintain that.

The sooner we learn this, the better we will all be.

[wilfrednandwa]

2:08 is so relatable 💔💔
I'm now over 25 and I remember the first time I heard this song thinking I hope this will not be me.
It breaks my heart right now, I haven't achieved anything in life and some nights I breakdown and cry

[johnsonken]

This video deserves a million more views just to honor the amazing work that was put into it

[savannahjolowski]

I remember when this video came out. It came out while I was supposed to be in English class so I snuck to the bathroom to watch the premier.

[sanitychecked]

Everytime I watch this video I think: umg this must have taken AGES to create, film, perfect and edit. It's amazing! Best lyric video I've ever seen!

[joesutherland]

I don’t care if some people think is is against their religion, it’s a good song regardless
