Lyrics

[00:00.70]
[00:00.80] Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
[00:05.22] Some nights, I call it a draw
[00:09.18] Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
[00:13.95] Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
[00:17.03]
[00:17.70] But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
[00:21.91] Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
[00:27.52] What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
[00:31.74] Most nights, I don't know anymore...
[00:38.84]
[00:53.77] This is it, boys, this is war
[00:56.36] what are we waiting for?
[00:58.60] Why don't we break the rules already?
[01:02.34] I was never one to believe the hype
[01:05.06] save that for the black and white
[01:06.94] Try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
[01:09.24] but here they come again to jack my style
[01:11.65]
[01:13.14] And that's alright
[01:15.67] I found a martyr in my bed tonight
[01:18.25] She stops my bones from wondering
[01:20.45] just who I am, who I am, who I am
[01:22.98] Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I?
[01:27.81]
[01:31.44] Some nights, I wish that this all would end
[01:35.63] Cause I could use some friends for a change
[01:40.12] And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
[01:44.63] Some nights, I always win, I always win
[01:48.87] But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
[01:52.99] Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
[01:58.53] What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
[02:02.68] Most nights, I don't know...
[02:06.63]
[02:07.42] So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
[02:12.02] Washed my hands of that for this?
[02:14.23] I miss my mom and dad for this?
[02:16.23] No. When I see stars,
[02:18.99] when I see stars, that's all they are
[02:20.99] When I hear songs,
[02:23.49] they sound like a swan, so come on
[02:27.57] Oh, come on. Oh, come on.
[02:34.70] Well boys and girls, that is all
[02:37.37] five minutes in and I'm bored again
[02:39.60] Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
[02:44.04] This one is not for the folks at home
[02:46.26] I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
[02:48.78] Who the f*ck wants to die alone
[02:50.56] all dried up in the desert sun?
[02:52.79] My heart is breaking for my sister
[02:55.01] and the con that she called "love"
[02:57.13] But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
[03:00.53] Man, you wouldn't believe
[03:02.69] the most amazing things that can come from...
[03:09.28] Some terrible nights.
[03:15.37]
[03:46.55] The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream
[03:48.78] I just had about you and me
[03:50.95] I called you up, but we'd both agree
[03:53.21]
[03:55.94] It's for the best you didn't listen
[04:00.39] It's for the best we get our distance, oh
[04:05.02] For the best you didn't listen
[04:09.23] It's for the best we get our distance, oh...
[04:14.11]
