Some Nights - Peter Hollens

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

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

And 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

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

(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

No When I see stars

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

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 f**k 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"

But when I look into my nephew's eyes

Man you wouldn't believe

The most amazing things

That can come from

Some terrible lies

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
