Some Nights Lyrics

[00:00.13] Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
[00:05.02] Some nights, I call it a draw
[00:09.11] Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
[00:13.59] Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
[00:17.71] But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
[00:21.63] Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh-oh
[00:26.37] (Oh-ooh-woah) what do I stand for?
[00:28.65] (Oh-ooh-woah) what do I stand for?
[00:31.32] Most nights, I don't know anymore
[00:35.62] Oh, oh-ooh-woah
[00:39.69] Oh-ooh-woah, oh
[00:44.69] Oh, oh-ooh-woah
[00:48.31] Oh-ooh-woah, oh
[00:53.33] This is it, boys, this is war
[00:56.26] What are we waiting for?
[00:58.36] Why don't we break the rules already?
[01:02.29] I was never one to believe the hype
[01:04.72] Save that for the black and white
[01:06.68] Try twice as hard, and I'm half as liked
[01:08.98] But here they come again to jack my style
[01:12.86] That's alright (that's alright)
[01:15.53] I found a martyr in my bed tonight
[01:17.93] She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
[01:24.24] Oh, who am I? Mmm, mmm-mmm
[01:31.07] Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
[01:35.05] 'Cause I could use some friends for a change
[01:40.19] And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
[01:44.18] Some nights, I always win (I always win)
[01:48.53] But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
[01:52.66] Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh-oh
[01:57.30] (Oh-ooh-woah) what do I stand for?
[01:59.87] (Oh-ooh-woah) what do I stand for?
[02:02.28] Most nights, I don't know
[02:06.01] (Oh, c'mon) so this is it?
[02:09.47] I sold my soul for this?
[02:11.70] Washed my hands of that for this?
[02:13.65] I miss my mom and dad for this?
[02:15.84] No, when I see stars, when I see-
[02:18.95] When I see stars, that's all they are
[02:20.77] When I hear songs
[02:23.17] They sound like a swan, so come on
[02:27.14] Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
[02:35.07] Well, this is it guys, that is all
[02:37.28] Five minutes in, and I'm bored again
[02:39.68] Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
[02:43.73] This one is not for the folks at home
[02:45.83] Sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go
[02:48.68] Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
[02:52.36] My heart is breaking for my sister
[02:54.82] And the con that she called "love"
[02:57.17] And then I look into my nephew's eyes
[03:00.22] Man, you wouldn't believe
[03:02.46] The most amazing things
[03:04.60] That can come from
[03:09.27] Some terrible nights
[03:13.46]
[03:28.33] Oh, oh-ooh-woah
[03:32.46] Oh-ooh-woah, oh
[03:37.26] Oh, oh-ooh-woah
[03:40.61] Oh-ooh-woah, oh
[03:46.09] The other night, you wouldn't believe
[03:48.33] The dream I just had about you and me
[03:50.62] I called you up, but we both agree
[03:55.67] It's for the best you didn't listen
[03:59.82] It's for the best we get our distance, oh
[04:04.63] For the best you didn't listen
[04:08.84] It's for the best we get our distance, oh
[04:11.82]
