Music & Lyrics: Some Nights - Fun.

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 
What do I stand for? What do I stand for? 
Most nights I don't know anymore... 

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, 
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, 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 I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style
 
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...

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  
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?  
Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)
 
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?
 
(Come on)
 
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are 
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on. 
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!
 
Well, that 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 call "love" 
When I look into my nephew's eyes... 
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from... 
Some terrible nights... ah...
 
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, 
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh  

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...  
It's for the best you didn't listen  
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
