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
