Some Nights

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? Oh

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
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?

So come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

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
