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 theyd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, Im still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights , I dont know anymore...
This is it, boys, this is war
what are we waiting for?
Why dont 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 Im half as liked,
but here they come again to jack my style
And thats 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, Im scared youll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, Im still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights , I dont 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, thats 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 Im bored again
Ten years of this, Im not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home
Im 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 nephews eyes...
Man, you wouldnt believe
the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights.
The other night, you wouldnt believe the dream
I just had about you and me
I called you up, but wed both agree
Its for the best you didnt listen
Its for the best we get our distance, oh
For the best you didnt listen
Its for the best we get our distance, oh...
