Fun.: Why Am I The One [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Directed by Jordan Bahat

LYRICS
I've got enough on my mind
That when she pulls me by the hair
She hasn't much to hold onto
She's keeping count on her hand
One, two, three days that I've 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 want to 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 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 are 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's rolling down the window
Never been on to hold on
But I need a last grasp
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit man
We were fools to think that nothing could go wrong

Go on, go on, go on
If you're 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

Go on, go on, go on
If you are 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

it’s 2023 and I’ve never got over Fun. Those songs made my teenage days 🥺😢

[GoobyBean]

It’s 2024 boys, please come back. Together

[theevenstevenchannel]

Don't be sad that they're gone. Be glad that they existed.

[BenB-yhwy]

2019 still waiting for them to make a comeback. Stay strong brothers soon they will have to be back

[ms.unwanted]

that moment you realize all your favorite songs from ur child hood was by them

[haku]

Holy fuck. I refuse to believe this was seven years ago. I miss those days ❤️

[jaykel]

I memorized all of their songs when I was High school, now I listened to them it gives me goosebumps. How I wish they will comeback.

[markamashov]

its 2018 boys, please get back together

[elyssaburton]

I loved how my dad would play this whole album full volume when me and my sister drove around without my mom, but when my mom was in the car he always made sure it wasn't too loud because she had blow ear drums... they've still been married for 20 years, been together for longer than that.. I'm lucky to have been shown what true love is. The whole point of this comment if you're even still reading this is that this band will always have a meaning to my life, and I think that's whats more important than being well known, is just knowing your music has made an impact on the ones who deserve to hear their lyrics. The ones who hear his voice and smile no matter the context of the song.

I miss FUN. Highly under appreciated and I love how their music feels timeless. Their breakdown of the tracks on Spotify makes me sad and I hope that eventually they’ll reunite to give us more immaculate music.

It took me quite a while to wrap my head around the meaning of this song, and this was my conclusion: it is about a man that is ready to really invest emotionally in a relationship. The relationship isn't perfect, it has numerous issues, and I think those issues are individual and personal. They are both facing something in their heads which is challenging them and causing misunderstanding, but he is ready to work it out and he is hopeful. He feels that hey belong together, even with all the pressure. But, what really kills his vibe and diminishes his hope is the fact that is he is faced with her lack of willingness to work it out, maybe due to tiredness and depression, or just a general pessimistic view. He sees that she is dissatisfied and has no hope (''if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come''), and he wonders why it's, again, on him to cut it off and make the decision to leave, when he isn't the one that wants that. If it was on him to decide, he would stay, but he's had too much of this unevenness in their feelings. It's like he is inviting her to leave if she really feels that this thing between them has no future. This is actually a song about emotional indecisiveness and being on different pages with your partner emotionally. That's how I read it, at least. I think it's cool how we never fin out what really happened between them. I personally tend to assume that he realized he needs to find his own home and independence from her negativity, which is why the song ends in ''I'll move back down..'', as if he really will pack his stuff and leave, for better or for worse.

[teganlindsay]

these guys don't get enough credit tbh

[MsMafalda]

They posted on their site that they are having a 'break'. The reason why they are having this 'break' is so beautiful as they soul is. They don't care about money, they care about making music to be good, not to sell. They do this and, I believe, specially for us, so we don't get crappy, but genuine and meaningful music. That is their mission in this planet. Their music is truly the best one I've heard in these years (I'm talking about the music that lives in my generation). They are so beautiful. They are so wonderful. And as a true lover of Fun. I will wait anxiously for more of them. I'll be here when you come back


I really regret for not have gone to their concert in 2013.

[ezbiqfz]

I never heard this song before.

But it feels so nostalgic.

[chrisnewell]

Nate ruess definitely underacheived with his voice.. such a unique voice..

[bilbocheese]

Dont care what people say this whole band never gets enough appreciation. AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG.

[skaterocker]

the elevator music in the beginning is the Some Nights tune!

[crustpunkjesuschrist]

It's funny. The singles ranked in popularity on this album go
1. We Are Young
2. Some Nights
3. Carry On
4. Why Am I The One
But ranked in emotional impact, it goes
1. WhyAm I The One
2. Carry On
3. Some Nights
4. We Are Young

[rafaela]

This is what real music sounds like. I love it.

[thxl]

I'm freaking craving for another new song from Fun.
