Some Nights lyrics
by Nate Ruess
BILL, MIKE, BEN, RICHIE, BEV
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
BILL, MIKE, BEN, RICHIE
Whoa oh oh
BEV
What do I stand for?
BILL, MIKE, BEN, RICHIE
Whoa oh oh
BEV
What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know anymore...
BILL, MIKE, BEN, RICHIE, BEV
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
BILL
I finally did it, Georgie. I finished our story, and I think you’re really gonna like how it ends
GEOGRIE
Are you f*cking kidding me? This might be the worst ending you have ever written. It makes no sense. And what the f*ck are deadlights? And what was with that turtle that was mentioned once? And what’s Derry disease? Does it have something to do with milk? I have no idea what is going on! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!
BEN
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
BEV
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
BEN
Why don't we break the rules already?
BEN AND BEV
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
STAN
That's alright (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? Mmm... Mmm...
BILL, MIKE, BEN, RICHIE, BEV
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
STAN
I wrote you all a letter explaining why I killed myself, and I’d like to read it for you now
BILL, MIKE, BEN, RICHIE, BEV (assorted)
No thanks, don’t care, don’t really want to hear that
STAN
f*ck you guys!
BILL, MIKE, BEN, BEV, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
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, oh
BILL, BEN, RICHIE, MIKE
Whoa oh oh
BEV, STAN, EDDIE
What do I stand for?
BILL, BEN, RICHIE, MIKE
Whoa oh oh
BEV, STAN, EDDIE
What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know anymore...
BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, MIKE, STAN
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
