​fun. - One Foot lyrics

I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting
For something to happen
I can’t help but love thinking
That everyone doesn’t get it
To my left there’s a window where did I go?
My reflection just blends in to rows
Of clothes and bad ideas
But ideas nonetheless and so

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love or a new
Life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love or a new
Life just a better place to die

I happen to stumble upon a chapel last night
And I can’t help but back up when
I think of what happens inside
I got friends locked in boxes
That's no way to live
But what you're calling a sin
Isn’t up to them after all
After all I thought we were all your children
But I will die for my own sins thanks a lot
We will rise up ourselves thanks
For nothing at all
So up off the ground our forefathers
Are nothing but dust now

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love or a new
Life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love or a new
Life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love or a new
Life just a better place to die

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth
I am over twenty-five and I can’t
Make a name for myself
Some nights I break down and cry
Lucky that my father’s still alive
He’s been fighting all his life and if
This is all I’ve ever known
Then may his soul live on forever in my song

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love or a new
Life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love or a new
Life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love or a new
Life just a better place to die

In front of the other one
In front of the other one
Just a better place to die
