Some Nights

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck

Some nights, I call it a draw

Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle

Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know anymore...

This is it, boys, this is war

what are we waiting for?

Why don't we break the rules already?

I was never one to believe the hype

save that for the black and white

Try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,

but here they come again to jack my style

And that's alright

I found a martyr in my bed tonight

She stops my bones from wondering

just who I am, who I am, who I am

Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I?

Some nights, I wish that this all would end

Cause I could use some friends for a change

And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again

Some nights, I always win, I always win

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know...

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?

Washed my hands of that for this?

I miss my mom and dad for this?

No. When I see stars,

when I see stars, that's all they are

When I hear songs,

they sound like a swan, so come on

Oh, come on. Oh, come on.

Well boys and girls, that is all

five minutes in and I'm bored again

Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands

This one is not for the folks at home

I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go

Who the f*ck wants to die alone

all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister

and the con that she called "love"

But when I look into my nephew's eyes...

Man, you wouldn't believe

the most amazing things that can come from...

Some terrible nights.

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream

I just had about you and me

I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance, oh

For the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance, oh...
