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, oh-oh
 (Oh-ooh-woah) what do I stand for?
 (Oh-ooh-woah) what do I stand for?
 Most nights, I don't know anymore
 Oh, oh-ooh-woah
 Oh-ooh-woah, oh
 Oh, oh-ooh-woah
 Oh-ooh-woah, oh
 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
 That's alright (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? Mmm, mmm-mmm
 Well, 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, oh-oh
 (Oh-ooh-woah) what do I stand for?
 (Oh-ooh-woah) what do I stand for?
 Most nights, I don't know
 (Oh, c'mon) 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-
 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, oh come on
 Well, this is it guys, 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
 Sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go
 Who the fuck 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"
 And then I look into my nephew's eyes
 Man, you wouldn't believe
 The most amazing things
 That can come from
 Some terrible nights
 ♪
 Oh, oh-ooh-woah
 Oh-ooh-woah, oh
 Oh, oh-ooh-woah
 Oh-ooh-woah, oh
 The other night, you wouldn't believe
 The dream I just had about you and me
 I called you up, but we 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
