Fun - Walking The Dog - (Nate from the Format) Phila, PA 4-26-09 with Lyrics

Fun playing Walking The Dog at the Trocadero in Philadelphia, PA 4/26/09

Lyrics:
Walking alone 'cause the night is dead.
Crossed my mind when I crossed the bridge.

How you lost your mind,
and your wrist got bruised,
and you wanted better love
when it was sleeping in your bedroom.
Hold on,
Stay on my side,
Don't go.

If you could see me
Whoever I am.
It's not like the movies,
but it's not all skin and bones.
So come on love
(come on, come one, come all and go)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I will not let you go

Now I'm walking alone 'cause the night is dead.
My feet don't glide like they did back then,
when I would call you up so we could shoot the moon.
These days I'm left to howl in tune.

Hearts do break
and I must admit
I found a verse and a chorus
so I might have been faking it.
Think I might have only cried just once.

After all the shows,
after all the boys of summer had gone,
amid all the confusion
and friends I've been losing
I always thought from the start
I'd be the one moving on.
I guess I'll never know
Where all the boys of summer will go
but I'll miss what we made
and the days were not wasted.
There are some things I may never know.

How you lost your mind
and your wrists got bruised
and you wanted better love
well it's sleeping your bedroom.
Hold on,
Stay on my side,
Don't go.

[kellykunk]

was jack not there?! :/

[quasirachel]

nope :\ I heard somewhere that he won't be on this tour, since Steel Train is finishing up their album ?

[Steoandnoodles]

Thank you! Can I ask another quick question? Were you a Format fan? and if so, did Fun live up to Dog Problems?

[quasirachel]

I love the format's music and there are alot of similarities. And the show felt alot like a format show to me. I love the lyrics on the new songs, maybe even more than some songs on Dog Problems. I doubt that the average Format fan will be disappointed, but I guess everyone has to decide on their own.

Nate seems happier than when he was with The Format, he seems like he's having more fun. No pun intended.

[chickenmonger]

Agreed. Nate seems happier than he'd ever been. It really seems like he was able to put his whole heart and soul into this album, and it shows.
