Fun – Some Nights lyrics

Some Nights lyrics

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
I 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.
Stops my bones from
wondering just who I, who
I, who I
a-a-a-am, oh who am I,
m-mm, m-mm.

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 standfor

What do 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.

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 back home; I’m 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”
But when I look into my
nephew’s eyes…
Man, you wouldn’t believe
the most amazing things
that can come from…
Some terrible lie
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…
It’s for the best you didn’t
listen
It’s for the best we get
our distance…
