| He didn't live in California, he lived in Arizona. That's what "the sun" reference is. "Valley of the Sun"! | |
| fun. – The Gambler Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I absolutely adore this song. It's so romantic and just cutesy! I always felt like it was his parent's love story, starting with his dad's point of view then switching to the mom at "And even though she moved away, We always get calls from our daughter." But I can also see why it could all be in the point of view of the mother. I hope someday I can have a love story like this one. | |
| fun. – Stars Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This is my FAVORITE song off of this album, so I often listen to it. I've kind of formed an opinion of what it's about and thought I'd just share it. So here it goes: This 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 (He's sick of having to grow up and take on responsibilities and in turn lose things from when he was younger) And it's crazy here without you I used to think this all was ours We stay up late debate On how we find our way You say, "It's all up in the stars" (Maybe he's refering to someone in Arizona that he knew before Fun. that meant a great deal to him and gave him advice) Well, Some nights I rule the world With bar lights and pretty girls (Sometimes he likes his fame, he rules the stage when singing "Barlights" or "All the Pretty Girls") But most nights I stay straight And think about my mom, Oh God I miss her so much (He mostly misses his family that he left behind in Arizona and wonders whether it was worth it) And there are people on the street They're coming up to me And they're telling me That they like what I do now (With Fun.'s growing fame, there would be random people recognizing him and they congratulate him) And so I tried my best when I took the fall And get back right up and get 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 (He had his family before he moved to New York, and now that he's left Arizona, he feels he has "lost them") Now I just wait for you to talk to me But you won't even look at me, baby (He waits for his family to talk to him. He doesn't want to be the first to speak) And I've been saying that you You're always holding onto stars I think they're better from afar Cause no one is going to save us (He feels like celebreties are just people and he doesn't understand the obsession with the "stars' of Hollywood and why his fame is changing his life so much) Oh, and me Well I am fading in the dark (He would like to be normal) So don't you ever kiss me Don't you wish on me Why can't you see That no one's going to save us? Come on, girl (He doesn't want the pressure of being a "star" and people counting on him.) |
