Fun 'Why Am I The One' VIDEO & Lyrics; Following Grammys 2013 Song of the Year and Best Artist Wins
Pop band Fun. released the official music video for their song Why Am I The One this week.
The video follows a lost piece of luggage on a cross-country trip, which MTV News noted serves as a metaphor for the past year of the band's lives in which they spent much time on the road and lost some luggage along the way.
"Andrew [Dost] always loses his luggage," frontman Nate Ruess joked about his band member. "He's the worst traveler out of all of us."
"When we went to Japan this past year for the first time, there's a health check you have to go through; it's two women with doctor's masks and flashlights," guitarist Jack Antonoff added. "Nate goes through, and I go through, and then Andrew goes through and they looked at him for a minute, then were like 'No. You are going in a cage.' They were like 'You are bad for our country.' "
Leading the Grammy nominations in 2013 was Fun. along with Frank Ocean, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Mumford & Sons, who are all tied with six nominations a piece. The band took home the award for Best New Artist and Song of the Year for We Are Young. They was nominated in some of the night's most prestigous categories such as Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

I got enough on my mind that when she pulls me by the hair
she hasn't much to hold onto
She keeping count on her hand One, Two, Three days
that I been sleeping on my side
I finished kissing my death, so now I head back up the steps
Thinking about where I've been, I mean the sun was never like this
I wanna feel with the season. I guess it makes sense
cause my lifes become as vapid as a night out in Los Angeles
and I just want to stay in bed, and hold you like I used to
You know that I am home, so darling if you love me
would you let me know...
Or go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
She got enough on her mind
that she feel no sorrow
I let my fate fill the air
so now she rollin down her window
Never been one to hold on
but I need a last breath
so I ask if she remembers when
she used to come and visit me
we were fools to think that nothing could go wrong
Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that im right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing all my stuff
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
I'll move back down to this western town
when they find me out make no mistake about it
I'll move back down to this western town
when they find me out make no mistake about it
I'll move back down to this western town...
Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packin up my stuff
Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packin up my stuff
For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that im right where I belong
Why am I the one always packin up my stuff
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
and I'll move back down...
