[Chorus]
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-ooh-woah) What do I stand for?
(Oh-ooh-woah) What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore
[Refrain]
Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh
Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh
Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1]
This is it, boys, this is war
(Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
What are we waiting for?
(Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh)
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
(Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
Save that for the black and white
(Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh)
Try twice as hard, and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style
[Bridge]
And that's alright (That's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering
Just who I, who I, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm, mmm
[Chorus]
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could usе some friends for a change
And somе 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-ooh-woah-oh) What do I stand for?
(Oh-ooh-woah-oh) What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know
[Bridge]
(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?
(Oh, come on) No, when I see stars, when I s-
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
[Verse 2]
Well, that is it, guys, that is all
(Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
Five minutes in, and I'm bored again
(Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh)
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home
(Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
Sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go
(Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh)
Who the fuck wants to die alone
All dried up in the desert sun?
[Bridge]
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
[Refrain]
Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh
Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
[Outro]
The other night, you wouldn't believe
The dream I just had about you and me
I'd called you up, but we both agreed
It's for the best you didn't listen (Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
It's for the best we gave our distance, oh (Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
For the best, you didn't listen (Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
It's for the best we get our distance, oh (Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh
Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
