[Verse 1]
If clouds look like sugar, only pretty from afar
And bubbles burst, when we touch them really soft
Maybe we should just watch the view from where we are
But that wouldn't be as fun
[Pre-Chorus]
If fire is deceiving and it always gets you burned
If taking risk and fighting only leaves you hurt
If hearts get broken when we fall in love to deep
Then maybe we should leave this undone
But that wouldn't be as fun (ah-haa)
[Chorus]
Break my heart, I need it
If that's what it takes to feel alive
Waking up, I feel it
Cannot live until I die
[Verse 2]
If a door finally opens to eventually be shut
And some shoes don't fit, even though you've worked so hard
Maybe we shouldn't never even try at all
But that wouldn't be as fun
[Pre-Chorus]
If fire is deceiving and it always gets you burned
If taking risk and fighting only leaves you hurt
If hearts get broken when we fall in love to deep
Then maybe we should leave this undone
But that wouldn't be as fun (ah-haa)
[Chorus]
Break my heart, I need it
If that's what it takes to feel alive
Waking up, I feel it
Cannot live until I die
Break my heart, I need it
If that's what it takes to feel alive
Waking up, I feel it
Cannot live until I die
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohohhh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohohhh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohohhh
That wouldn't be as fun

I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much while making a song as I did with “As Fun.” […] [It] is about doing things for the sole purpose to ‘feel’, whether these are good or bad emotions. As we all know, some things can look so beautiful from afar but feel so differently up close. Clouds look like suga...
I asked Pascal [Reinhardt] to mute the guitar with his hands while playing and record the sound it made, I ended up using it in the production named as ‘percussion guitar’ hehe. When I was back in Holland, I started producing the rest of the song and couldn’t stop crying and dancing in my room. It m...
This is very much inspired by Kanye West’s use of vocal samples in his music, a lot of times they’re the only source of harmony in the song, and I love that. In my case, I love sampling my own voice.
