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, 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?
Who am I? 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
Oh, come on!
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hand of God for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
Oh, come on!
When I see stars, when I see-
When I see stars, that's all they are?
(Oh, come on!)
When I hear songs, they sound like this one
So come on! Come on! Come on! Oh, come on!...
Well, that 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 heck 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"
And when I look into my nephew's eyes
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things
That can come from some terrible lies, ohhh.......!
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
(Oh, come on!)
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
