Foster The People - The Contender Lyrics

Spotify please?

I discovered this band 4 years ago and yet some how my dumb ass has never heard/seen this album before and now that im listening to it gives me the same feeling I had when I first dicovered them. This band is insanely incredible.

Mark is so talented! Love his creativity!

helps me so much

can’t believe i’ve had a conversation with this man💗

Está bien chida la canción

Wow this song is beautiful 😭 ughh I love him sm

Don't know why I thought to come back to this song, but it is just so beautiful

nice! <3

Listening to this song and his voice is an incredible way to motivate me to work for school <3 :)

Hey!

Hide me
Protect my name
Worried
They’ll track me down up here
When will you look here
You’re lost again
Don’t be alone
I’m all alone

They don’t know
And they don’t care
And they’d kill me if they could
And save them
And then save me
I can’t do it by myself
I’m not scared
Their ridicule
Has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger

Say something, say something, refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something, refresh me
Say something, say something

When I drag past waking moments
You are there
When I crawl back in my room
You are there
When I walk past all the signs
You are there
And I never look behind
Cause you tell me where to run

They don’t know
And they don’t care
And they’d kill me if they could
And save them
And then save me
I can’t do it by myself
I’m not scared
Their ridicule
Has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger

Say something, say something, refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something, refresh me
Say something

I can’t go on like this anymore
Oh I’ll love you remember, yeah (?)
When hope is rising to face it all
To save us from ourselves
So I’ll be with an arsenal
Of words and I will be afraid I’ll say them
Oh, and I’mma be afraid I’ll say them
Oh, then I’mma be afraid I’ll say them (?)
Because, you’ve
Always loved me!

They don’t know
And they don’t care
And they’d kill me if they could
So save them
And then save me
I can’t do it by myself
I’m not scared
Their ridicule
Has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger
And it makes me stronger
And it makes me stronger!

Say something, say something, refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something, refresh me
Say something, say something, yeah

Say something, say something, refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going (yeah, yeah)
Say something, say something, refresh me
Say something, say something, (yeah, yeah)

All this for no likes only nine

but thanks anyway I don't have to go searching for the lyrics haha

Mark needs more creds then he gets... whos with me?

_thedanimann _ yes me

Mark Foster's voice. A huge inspiration. Give my song a listen?
It's about the struggles of addiction, even well after recovery. And being able to admit it.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

뭐지? 이건 그냥 마크 믹스테잎같은건가요?

ever since i saw foster the people in concert they have been my life oh my gosh this is great

I thought he said "Just say something, just say something you freshmen!" which made me wonder, did he had a fight with a freshmen lol

It's refresh me

Can u buy this on iTunes?

How did you get this?

+Jay Sutherland Read the description.

His voice is golden 💘

+Ro Lenk you're right, but you know something? everytime someone says that about a singer, I'm alway like... amm yes but no. Like, I'm synesthetic in some aspects like giving movements a noise and like songs or voices have a color of their own. And like, Mark's voice is kind of reddish orange and dark green, well, to me :)

OWO ES GENIAL

I almost touched him

Tell me more?

@Jay Mccluskie i saw him at a concert and he tried to grab my hand

Lolll he literally "Mehhs" like a goat.... lol
