I Wanna Be the One - Fun.

Were you named for the river that surrounds

All my biggest mistakes?

Or the way that I made it out?

All the muscles in my mouth

Never smiled or said profound things

Until the day she handed you to me, now

For all the steps you’ll take

And all you’ll overcome

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Take every single tear

For all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Cigarettes are raining hard

On the upper east side

She brings me a cake, we celebrate

I have arrived

And I know that it’s been sang before

But you’re my human holiday

I put my hands to the table and dare to say

«The love of my life»

And your brother with his best friend

Share the name of an inebriate

That couldn’t bring me down

For everything you’ve lost

And all you’ve overcome

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Take every single tear

For all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

And make it last forever

Clever comes in truth

When the truth begets the past

It sends a call up to the moon

And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds

Your heart as it pounds

It starts the beat, inspiring me Until I make a sound

I wanna be the one

I wanna be the one

I wanna be the one

For everything you’ve lost

And all you’ve overcome

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Take every single tear

For all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song
