LYRICS
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 50 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'd crossed collective hearts.
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd 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 stops waking up over the fields
I will not leave, I will not leave 'til it's our time.
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
and now he's turning to a man, although 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
30 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'll never leave your side.
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye
You curse the dogs and say that I should never feed them what is ours
So we move out to the garden, look at everything we've grown
and the kids are coming home
I'll set the table
You can make the fire.

"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." If this isn't relationship goals, I don't know what is
i know what you mean
+Tess Glasgow i heard the song was I swear when I grow up, I will just buy you a rose i think the uploader is got wrong :D
+ IT's JayCFG // Crossfire Gamer
No, he got it right. See "I won't just... (but) I will... ">>
" when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose. I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely."
It's like the conditional sentence (unreal condition - future). And then the If-clause following after that.
His dad bought his mom a flower shop once
Tess Glasgow fr
Well, this song will be playing at my wedding.
And this song was playing at my dance comp because I dance to it
This song will for sure be playing at my wedding
Its been 4 years since this comment so did you do it?
Yeah, did you do it?
@@ali4games10 I dont think she meant she has a wedding coming up and she'll play it
this dude could burp and i'd still shed a tear in my eye tbqh
A Nipple SAME
omg this made my day
FAT MOOD
This also made my day.

I love how in most of his songs, the lyrics don't repeat themselves, and instead tell a whole story.
UnknownBigF We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

themcbobgorge hey, Ringo tries his best
themcbobgorge cause yellow submarine is their only song 😂

I somehow feel his lyrics are very underrated.
my parents were a couple since high school and ever since i heard this song, i think of them
and now it's hard for me to listen to this song. it just makes me really sad.
my dad died due to an accident, it all happened in a flash and it has been a month now.
it's really sad thinking about that i will never get to hug him, kiss him, hold his hand, hearing his voice and he would never get to see me growing up.
to those people who still have parents, love them, don't forget to hug and kiss them and tell them you love them
farah wut I know I'm late but... * hugs *
You're not alone, buddy. I experience the same thing; my parents were a couple since highschool and this song fits them a lot, but my dad died due to an accident, too. Just cheer up, world needs your smile. :)
I know I'm late too but thanks Farah, I will hug, kiss and love them, and I know that I haven't gone through what you've been through but I hope everything well with you.
farah wut i hope you feel better.
Strive for greatness. You are not alone. Hope you could get better
You rarely see cute songs about people growing old together.
It really is beautiful.
Honestly oh you should check out the music video for bloom by surfaces
I would sit alone as a 13 year old and cry to this album
I'm 12 and crying at this 😂😩
OMG ME TOO!! And now I'm listening to it again and crying again
I'm 4 and crying at this
I'm crying in my mother's womb
Pathetic
Anyone still listening to this? March 2020 in the midst of home quarantine due to corona virus Pandemic 😥
Mark Jet Manalaysay I am. I used to listen to this album on my way to high school 10 years ago! It’s still a lovely song and album.
May baby
Yesss! i am
Yesssirrrrr
July 2020 still
listening
when you realize it talks about his parents... :)
Jacopo Rossi actually it's about his band mate at the times parents
kindle urie
no it's for Nate's mom and dad. he said it before
It makes me think of my parents. They've been together since they were 14. 31 years now. Crazy.
David it’s actually about me and my wife get it right
Fumma can I meet you and your wife? Did you ever end up buying her the flower shop?
A whole love story packed into a song; a beautiful song at that.
This band needs to be recognized more
Not really. fun had a huge year in 2012.
+Matt Zarate yeah I wish they weren't as popular as they became in 2012, they were great when they were a simple band that had a good handful of fans out there supporting the band, and not all this media interfering with the bond between the band, the members, and fans.
Aaron Ward TRU
Aaron Ward What kind of fan doesn't wish success for a band? Close-minded and selfish. If you don't like the media, then simply ignore it.
They are.. Lol what? The guy was even on The Voice.
I wish Fun would go back to this.
tyler romine Sadly Fun's on hiatus :/
가사 시나리오 작가/프로판 늑대 하나님 I...I guess..?
They need to come back period.
fu*k, ive been waiting for years
I just wish they would just come back
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.

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
Thank you for the lyrics. I’d never heard this song til last week and it’s quickly become one of my favorites.
My baby sister falls asleep to this song. Good taste in music at four months old.
Lol I can't sleep without it on
jordyn mumby and now she’s almost 6 years old
Must have learnt from you 🌈
I sometimes think about how far Nate has come since the format and aim and ignite and some nights all the way to grand romantic and how jack has come from steel train to strange desire and Andrews acting career taking off and watching some of their old drunken younow live streams and it catches me up because of how beautiful this group is and how they need to be together and make music and need so much more popularity, this is poetry. I cry when I listen to this and it only gets much worse because I feel Nate thinks of this too and pours his heart into these songs, and you feel it, the connection between your events and his, his depression and heartache, his love and enchantment, all funneled through a song. Simple beautiful. Fun. Is incredible.
Such a beatiful comment!! I think fun. is one of the best groups ever made. The lyrics are poetry, and the ryhthm... it's all original!! Nowadays any musician has this talent. I agree with you: fun. is incredible.
:(
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.
I'm not crying :'(
I can see why Ellen Degeneres considers them her favorite band.
***** They are (from what I know.) If they're not, then she really likes them at least.
they cool

Thanks ❤
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.
2022 anyone? am i listeming this masterpiece alone ☹️
Your not alone
@@Feetlcker123 brooo i love you

I'm listening to it, my boyfriend recommended it to me 4 months ago, before we were dating and now I'm addicted to it.
I recently lost my fiancé, she was the love of my life. This was our song and I listen to it every day 😞
Am I the only one who feels that this would also be amazing as a duet?
My friend and I duet this all the time
Oh my gosh that would be awesome!!!
I want to sing this song with my mom:)
It's just so pretty:)
No
Oh yeah
who else feels the tug on your heart when they listen to this song?
abigail Correa-Cruz i feel nothing..bt when i saw u i start feeling somthing..nw i can feel this song...thanks...
Me...
I will get married just for this song.
I just want to play this in my wedding.
please donot punpunnnn
@@YeoLja2XO1 wdym don't

My friend Jordan was learning how to play this song on the piano before he passed it’s so sad to see him go at 24 years old I really miss him
I’m sorry for your loss.
@@reecewhitley3446 thank you!!!! I also lost my father back 4 months ago. It has been a rough road for me.
You are welcome, I lost a very close family friend and my great grandfather 3 weeks ago with a 2 day difference. I have slowly gotten over it but Fun. music had really gotten me through it.
It was Fun. while it lasted.
I miss you my friend Jordan David Brookings 6-04-1996 to 11-26-2020
Only the truly good die young. RIP to your friend. I’m sad I couldn’t meet him too. You were lucky to know him!
@@jeremytheoneofdestiny8691 thank you so much
this song makes me cry like a baby, every single time.
why? details please
+Andrew Lopez Let me word it as soulful as I can. The song portrays a love that is quite rare. One that isn't materialistic, one that blooms, one that doesn't simply rely on what the other has, but on what you two have. Plus, the instrumentals makes the emotional image even more strong.
It made me tear up during the fourth time singing this... Idk
Same. I’m sobbing my eyes out right now and I’ve probably heard this song over 50 times.
I wish Fun. was still creating songs 😢
Have they disbanded ?
@@totoro_0__0_3 not really, they were just having a break
This is such a pretty song! I love the piano and strings! Such a pretty and flowing melody! Definitely one of my favorites. Nate has a very good voice too.
I usually come here cause it's a great song. But this time i came here cause a cool dude told that this was the song that he was listenning to in a "what song are you listenning to?" video.
I came here because of the same reason :D This is the first time I listened to this song and it´s already in my all-time-favorite!
This song makes me happy and sad at the same time..
This would be the perfect life. I wonder if there's anybody out there living it... I really hope so!
@@10am84 LOL
I hear you
i seriously believe that this is the best song i have ever heard! i keep on coming back to it after all these years
Same! I found this song in 7th grade now I'm in 9th lol
they grow up so fast these days.
XD
still here :)
50 years from now, holding hands made feeble and infirm, I'll whisper -- "Of course I remember this song. I'll never forget *our song*."
The last time I listened to fun. was when I was 10. Now I'm graduating high school tomorrow and wow I had no idea how much the first few lines would affect me. I can't believe I stopped listening to these songs
Wish you all the best for your future. Time flies.
@@comicalapollo woah, i completely forgot about that comment. in a couple months, it'll be 2 years since I graduated high school. time really does fly lmao.
wish you all the best as well!
Everyone else go home: this is the most romantic song ever
OMG this song is a tear jerker and i hate chick flicks and never cry at movies and Im not even close to 15! if you dont get even a little choked up the first time you listen you're a cold hearted DB!!!
anyone here from 2021?
Anyone here in 2021?
2021🙌
On quarantine and I'm binge-listening to Fun. epic We all want them to come back. :(
The instrument, vocals, lyrics, absolute masterpiece! You're not getting something like this on years
Fun fact! On a live stream someone asked what 'The Gambler' was about and Nate replied saying the song is about his parents.
I love this song so much haven't listened to it in a year and know all the lyrics
No, the title is not obvious at all. The song is a wonderful homage to his parents love story, with each stanza taking the point of view of one of them. As with most of Nate's poetic songs, it's lyrically complex as some parts could be either parent. But the title emerges from 2 people who took a gamble on each other when they were only 18 and should have known better. You could argue that it's either one, and that's the beauty of the title. It's one of my favorite love songs.
I looked up this song randomly, and now that it's brought up to my memory. I realised this is the song my ex boyfriend sent to me four years ago. We dated for three years and we broke up six months ago because he told me He didn't want marriage or children. This song takes me back to simpler times when anything was possible with him in terms of future. Despite the heart break, I still love him and wish him the best. This song is all I have left. I would have rather have touched one hair on his head then to have never.
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."
William McInnes, Niceee.
Gambling your love ?
How could 171 people not like this song? Are there still J.B. fan girls running around?! I thought they were extinct!!!!
Nope.
+River Sutton What's the connection between Justin Bieber and an old song by Fun.?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) You're my bae.
jb?
Andrew Lopez Hows the interior under the rock?
This song reminds me alot of my ex....i thought we'd have this kind of life, but, well...it wasn't meant to be. I still have hope I will find someone though....someone whose hand i can hold and who can hold mine, and we'll never leave each other' s sides :)
Hannah Aisling ok..lets do it..m ready to hold..n also u look so cute...
Good luck
This song just makes me want to cry oh my gosh it's so sad and beautiful
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!
Queen
@@bomberdan facts
How can he sing so well??!! I have listened to fun for six years and it never gets old 😉😉
I'm your biggest fan and still waiting for your comeback for almost 9 years
Still as beautiful when I first listened to it several years ago in my room at 16 yrs old!
i miss fun. :(
It's 4 in the morning i couldn't sleep and I'm here listening to this beautiful song and reading all the beautiful comments by beautiful people. It's really heart warming. Wish fun would come up with new music.
My 23 yr old son showed me this ! What a beautiful Song ! Thanks My Rusty I love it!
Why is this song so fucking underrated? It’s a legit crime
Anyone else really like the ending to the instrumental at 3:34?
Yes i do
Fun was so much better back then. Not being a hipster lol it's ok to have an opinion about music.
Yeah, gonna have to agree with you there. I mean, I really like Some Nights, but it does come across as a bit weak compared to Aim and Ignite. Mostly, I think, because Aim and Ignite took a couple years to write and Some Nights was written over a couple weeks of intensive work. Also I think this song predates Fun anyway, I'm pretty sure it was written for The Format but they never worked out the instrumentals before the band broke up. Wouldn't really have fit on Dog Problems anyway though.
Everybody talking about the cute story but it's really the simple instrumentation that makes it stand out, especially contrasting with Be Calm
My husband and I had our first dance to this song.
the song is pretty good😊😊
I showed this to my mother and she just started crying. Lol.
Thank you so much for this music Fun. I wish you all would have produced more albums, but you take what you can get in life. Aim and Ignite was a masterpiece.
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
:cool
It's 2017 now! I still love this song!!!! "Never leave your sideeeee lalalalalalalala"
Zandrew Mark Cunanan ive listened to it about 20 thousand times and its 2018 this song is amazing
It’s 2020 and this song is still amazing
2021 baby still jammin
2021 :')
Beautiful song. Hopefully fun stays together for a long time. They are such great musicians.
dido
grace kitches ditto?
DITTO
This album is pure perfection. It's impossible for me to choose a favorite song, they all have so much meaning to me.
Not going to lie, I love Fun, but I love the Beatles as well, and this song reminds me of Paul McCartney and his wife Linda who were true to each other until Linda died of breast cancer.
140 people don't know music
Agreed
143 :/
144 :/
146 :/ they all must be confused
147 :/
man i wish nate would do more concerts id do anything to see him 😭😭😭
Faithy Poo ..i dont cry..while listning to this song..dt i wish i could...
Still criminally underrated
Sorry about that negativity. I was asked to comment about this song. I'll try to be more positive in the future! I know how some people don't like negative stuff said about a singer they like. I think you're correct about Nate sounding the same live or studio( although I'm not sure that's a good thing) oops I did it again:) seriously though- I hope you have a good week!
Still one of the most beautiful songs I've heard to this day
I listened to this song 20 times in a row today and i will 30 times tomorrow
Thank you Nate Ruess and Fun for this beautiful song ❤❤❤❤
I love these Pretty Odd Panic! At The Disco vibes
+Wendy Neverland do you know anything else like these?
Well the album Pretty Odd by Panic! At the Disco has similarities to this album. But I wouldn't know anything else. In love with this album
+sem nome some Never Shout Never songs have a similar feeling to this
both pretty odd and AAI sound like the Beatles and The Beach Boys
SO THATS WHY I STAN BOTH THESE ALBUMS SO MUCH
This song is so underrated tbh. My ex girlfriend used to sing it/play it (on the piano) for me and it always made me so happy. I still love love love this song but it makes me a lil sad now
the french horn sounds beautiful !! 🥺🥺
it would be so embarrassing if he found this comment but. someone showed me this song the first summer we were in love. I took it to mean he wanted this wonderful future with me... and so did I. I listened to this obsessively after we broke up, the desperation in the chorus really resonated and I held onto its hope. I’m moving on now but this song still makes me cry. how lucky and wonderful it is to love and be loved. 🤍 how wonderful it is even to know that you have been
Oh my-
The violin is so beautiful I’m bawling my eyes out rn
Idk whether to make this a wedding song or a funeral song....either way, whether in spirit or in person, tears will fall down my face
My always favorite song---Will never stop loving it
I dont get why this makes people cry, it makes me smile like a Fucking idiot xD
i cant get over how adorable this song is im emotional
This whole album sounds like a musical. Just beautiful.
I miss this song. This was my ex and my favorite song for 8 months! I'm glad I found this again.
best band of all time for me
I'm a cynical person and songs about love very rarely "move" me, but the final verse of the song is just so... beautiful. It brought tears of happiness to my eyes.
Great song from an amazing album.
This album came out in my 9th birthday and its still one of my favorites 10 years later
Immediately I fell in love with this song 😘
this is exactly how I feel about my girlfriend omg😍😍😍😍
Good stuff right here,good stuff.
So hard listening to this song and realize that it will never happen to you. I'm gay and the chances are very slim. Still, I love this song so much!
"He believes we're all just lovers, he see's hope in everyone."
"It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye."
I love this part and the whole song, the story is so wonderful♥
Fun.Fan♥
Such an incredibly underrated album
2019 and i want to be the gambler now
my favorite song by Fun
I saw them live over the summer, best concert I've been to in ages
Holy Shit! I Saw Them In Lake Tahoe A Few Months Back And They Said They Were Coming Back. SO EXCITED!!! XDDD
2019 anyone?
2021?
"I swear when i grow up, I won' buy you a rose. I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely." is the best moment....
