Fun. - The Gambler Lyrics

imagine being together with someone for 11 years before you could finally move in together and get married. imagine love that lasts for that long.

this was released one day after my birthday. best birthday present ever! 💛

It's 2020 and no one is listening to this song:'(

I´m so in love with this song!
This is how I imagine relationship ... like forever. And not just "I´ll never leave your side...", but all these little details... When I hear it, I really can´t wait for that real feeling.

Oh dang

note as good as *cArDi B*

edit: not*

Pls gtfo

@Arturo De Santiago it's a joke lmao

Looking at comments made 5 years ago

the french horn sounds beautiful !! 🥺🥺

I play French Horn, I really want to learn the part

2019 anyone?

Everyone else go home: this is the most romantic song ever

Why is this song so fucking underrated? It’s a legit crime

I'll never stop missing them.

It amazes how FUN can make Aim and Ignite and then make Some Nights. Just wow.

Goddamn, no matter how many times I hear this song I’m always in tears by the end

I’ve always wanted to know why it’s called “the gambler”

According to Nate Ruess's AmA on Reddit, "I originally wrote that song with Sam, in The Format. And the original melody sounded a lot like the Kenny Roger's song "The Gambler." And so we always called it that. And fortunately, that forced me to write the current melody of the song."

Perc'ahlia ❤️😥

Go back to his fun 2019

This album came out a day after I turned 6... Weird.

i love this song, it fits my family so well blue eyes, arizona ..

2019 and I’m still listening to this :))

2019 and i want to be the gambler now

Honestly to those people who disliked ur just mad bc u can’t right and sing a song like fun even though idk who u r I’m really really really disappointed 😔 this song is absolutely amazing

you're still as beatefull as the first time i heard you *_*

This always makes me think about my grandparents, because the story is quite similar and my mum's and uncle's personalities match so well with the children described in this song. I'm so in love with it <3

2019 anyone???

This is the best song. This is the first song that make me really cry. fun is genius

almost lost my partner on Sunday (two days ago) and this is the song that got me through it. “you said you’d be here til we decided it’s our time. but it’s not time, you never quit in all your life.” just hit so hard.

This tune would fit perfectly in a pirate tavern lol

Oh dear god so beautiful

It was Fun. while it lasted.

I think he’s talking about a man. He never says the gender and he says “she’s got eyes just like her father “ why would he refer to himself as father. I think it’s a man not a woman.

Lindsey K this song is about the lead singers parents.

Plot twist: He’s talking about a boy

in the old, old days, people liked coming up with nicknames that rhymed. for example, a man named Richard would sometimes be referred to "Rick" or "Rich" for short. What rhymes with "Rick"? "Dick". this also explains why a man named "William" may be called "Bill" or a man named "Robert" is known as "Bob".

Why did this song pop up in my feed

I will get married just for this song.

I just want to play this in my wedding.

please donot punpunnnn

Like dis if u cry erytime

all thisa time i never realised the singer was a chick.. or are they? :o

No, it's a man. Nate Russ

2019 It made me cry on vals dayT.T

this group needs a movie like "nate ruess"

this shit trash

you are trash.

People with anime icons need to think before they speak

@Ava D youre right

this song hits a certain way for me.

Love this song in 2019. Wish Fun. to come back 😭

My favorite!

Anyone here from Anson Seabra's Instagram story?

I just found this song, and this song pretty much told our story at the 1:40 mark. Damn... I'm really a lucky guy.... Still got a long way to go... hopefully........ hopefully.

This song is too good to be true

good song 10/10 would be gay agin

Greta van fleat = Led Zeppelin

Fun = Queen

It was love at second sight

Sooo my phone sent me here after a fucking Google advert said ok Google FFS

This song never ceases to bring tears to my eyes. Especially at "But it's not time-" It just sounds so raw and determined and desperate all at the same time. One of the most beautiful songs/ sentiments I've ever heard/ felt.

November 2018?

This song is dedicated to all my future hoes

H. O. E.
Heaven on earth

This album came out in my 9th birthday and its still one of my favorites 10 years later

How Can this song be so magical, pure, clear, Classic, perfect , wonderful?

This masterpiece is so underrated :(

2018? :") i miss this song so much, back then 2014 i heard this song alot hehe

I love fun ... This is such a beautiful song

2018 gang

Reminds me of k.o who broke my heart but I still love her

Ouch it does bring memories but now I wanna die k.o

So I have been going to camp for 12 years and I heard this song and every time I listen to it I remember all the good times but now it’s over for me and all my friends because now we are working there and we can no longer make memories that will last forever because the best memories are the ones that u can make with the best people and half of them aren’t coming back and now we are sad

Fun is severely underrated and I hate it. The Queen of our generation. This is my favorite song of all time.

すてきな曲( ¨̮ )

So why is it called "the gambler"?

Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
I don't care to beg your pardon,
We should live until we die.
We were barely 18 when we crossed collective hearts.
It was cold, but it got warm when you barely crossed my eye.
And then you turned, put out your hand,
And you asked me to dance.
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Even if the sun stopped waking up over the fields
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
It was the winter of '86, all the fields had frozen over.
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
And now he's turning to a man, though he thinks just like his mother,
He believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
And even though she moved away,
We always get calls from our daughter.
She has eyes just like her father's
They are blue when skies are grey
And just like him, she never stops,
Never takes the day for granted,
Works for everything that's handed to her,
Never once complains.
You think that I nearly lost you
When the doctors tried to take you away.
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
Thirty years ago to this day
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
You're the love of my life, you know that I will never leave your side.
You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye
You curse the dogs, you say that I should never feed them what is ours.
And so we move out to the garden and look at everything we've grown.
And now the kids are coming home
So I'll set the table
You can make the fire

Rest In Peace Stefan Karl. ❤️❤️❤️

why would anyone dislike this??

An amazing song and a beautiful love story? Wow.

This song feels...Beatles-inspired. Anyone else know what I mean?

I MISS YOU =/

June anyone

Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden

We were barely 18 when we crossed collective hearts.
It was cold, but it got warm when you barely crossed my eye.
And then you turned, put out your hand,
And you asked me to dance.

I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Even if the sun stopped waking up over the fields

So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.

David Reyes that's in the description tho

I think of my gf in this song

Damn we ended😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😭

2018, damn, almost 10 years

April 2018 where ya guys at?

This is my favorite song ever, why doesn’t every single person on earth know this song, let alone this best band of all time!

i used to play sims 3 trying to replicate this song.

I used to cry to this song in the seventh grade cause the girl I liked didn’t like me back lmao

Damn no matter how much I try to fight it this part ALWAYS gets me..
"I swear when I grow up I won't just buy you a rose, I will buy the flower shop and you will never be lonely"

those piano notes are more complicated than my math teacher

I have a dance to this song for competition and I have to listen to it everyday

Emma Larson you’re lucky, it’s the best song ever!

I remember hearing this song when it first came out wow does time fly

I'm sad.

I'm so proud to have the album

I wish I could be the daughter my parents want me to be.

The piano bit at the beginning is very reminiscent of Firth of Fifth by Genesis in my opinion.

I wish Fun. was still creating songs 😢

HOW ISNT THIS EVERYBODIES FAVOURITE SONG!?!?!?!?!?

Love you brotha mike rip to yo momma

Alguién está aqui por Comics Feaks? :v si es asi dale like v:
