Fun. - Be Calm Lyrics






As I walk through the streets of my new city
My back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
For better or for worse, I've yet to know, but I
Always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block

Oh why, Oh why
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time I think it's for real, I can see

All the tree tops turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe

And be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.

I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Now every single crack every penny that I pass,
Says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came

The moment I was baptized
Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
If only I could find my people or my place in life
And when they came a'carolin'
So loud, so bright, the theremin
Will lead us to a chorus
Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:

Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
And everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.

I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
From that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
The panhandler or his melody.
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.

Oh be calm, be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive
And everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm, be calm.

    I think this song is one of the best representations of Nate Ruess and Jack Antonoff’s genius writing abilities. This is an expertly crafted masterpiece of a song.

  48. E.... M....

    I love rading all these comments that say this song helps them through their anxiety- it helped me as well, when I had severe anxiety in eleventh grade. I just love that so many people realize that a song that sounds like it's falling apart is purely cathartic. Such an amazing feeling, such an amazing song.

  49. R.... E....

    10 years

  50. T.... R....

    friking love this band its like a mini Queen :)

  51. M.... W....

    it ironic because the songs name is 'be calm' but how can you be calm just listening to the song? let alone singing it?

  52. F.... C....

    I will play this at my funeral

  53. R.... ....

    Kinda reminds me of mother mother's older music in particular,,

  54. F.... ....

    I...this is literally the kind of song I needed right now. Wow.

  55. a.... r....

    Beautiful

  56. J.... Y....

    I miss this

  57. M.... ....

    Is it me or does this sound like Queen????

  58. M.... ....

    Why the fuck did Nate stop.

  59. -.... -....

    "be calm."

    that is not calming

  60. M.... ....

    This is simply the best song of all time

  61. R.... B....

    Fun reminds me so much of queen

  62. a.... ....

    Duuuude i totally forgot this song existed! I love it so much!!

  63. E.... ....

    This is a fucking rollercoaster

  64. S.... R....

    Why am I just finding this????? I’m in love tbh

  65. O.... ....

    Until now, I thought that Fun. was just a little above-average pop band with some songs good and some kinda meh. But this song definitely made me a fan.
