Fun. - Some Nights (2012) by Fun. (보컬) on maniadb.com

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
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, 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

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I still don't know what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know...

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?

No. When I see stars, 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.

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 is not one for the folks back home; I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to
Go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights.

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...

Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than the empire state
my lover she`s waiting for me
just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
asking `bout a scar and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you`re trying to forget
but between the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
you know I`m trying hard to take it back
so if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I`ll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let`s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
we are young
so let`s set the world on fire
we can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I`m not
all that you got,
I guess that I, I just thought
maybe we could find a ways to fall apart
But are friends in back So let`s raise a cup
Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let`s the set the world on fire
we can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
so let`s set the world on fire
we can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
but I can hear the choir
so will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let`s set the world on fire
we can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
so let`s set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I`ll carry you home tonight

Well I woke up to the sound of silence
The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains
And heart like the fourth of July

You swore and said
We are not
We are not shining stars
This I know
I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
To know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends
At the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked
About how our parents will die
All our neighbours and wives
But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you want of me

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Woah
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
Cause after all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one's ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away
So we'll come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

What've we done?
Oh my god
What've we done?
Oh my god

This is really happening
You've never looked so bored
But can you feel my fingernails?
They've never been so short

It's hard to lay a golden egg
With everyone around
It's hard to stay inside my head
When words keep pouring out

Like starlight crashing through the room
We'll lose our feathers
Yes - I know it hurts at first
But it gets better

It gets better (x3)
We'll get better
It gets better (x3)
We'll get better

I can taste your summer sweat
It's never been so warm
So can we kick the covers off?
They're always on
It's never been so warm

It's hard to keep a straight face
When I just want to smile
Wish you could see the look that's in your eyes

Like starlight crashing through the room
We'll lose our feathers
Yes - I know it hurts at first
But it gets better

It gets better (x3)
We'll get better
It gets better (x3)
We'll get better

There's a fire in sky
Some snow in the ground
Not quite enough cigarettes
To calm me down

What've we done?
Oh my god
What've we done?
Oh my god

It gets better (x3)
We'll get better
It gets better (x3)
We'll get better

This is really happening
This is really happening

I've got enough on my mind,
That when she pulls me by the hand
She hasn't much to hold onto.
She's keeping count on her hands
One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side.

I've finished kissing my death
So now I head back up the steps.
Thinking about where I've been,
I mean it's always never like this.
I wanna feel with the seasons.
I guess it makes sense because my life's become as vapid as
A night out in Los Angeles.
And I just wanna stay in bed.

I hold you like I used to.
You know that I am home.
So darling if you love me
Would you let me know?

Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come.
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?

For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong.
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?

She got enough on her mind
But now she feels no sorrow.
I let my faith fill the air
So now she's rolling down the window.
Never been one to hold on
But I need a last breath.
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit me,
We were fools to think that nothing would go wrong.

Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come.
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?

For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong.
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?

I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much.

I'll move back down
To this western town.
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it.
I'll move back down
To this western town.
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it.
(I'll move back down)
(To this western town.)

Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come.
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?

Well - go on, go on, go on

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

Well I got the call as soon as the day hit night
As soon as the headlights lit up the west side
I stopped the car and came outside
Cause I know that tone

I remember the first time
We wished upon parallel lines
Waiting for a friend to call
And say they're still alive

I've given everyone I know
A good reason to go
I was surprised you stuck around
Long enough to figure out

That it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

And now all my loves have come back to haunt me
My regrets, a text sent to taught me
I never claimed to be more than a one night stand

And oh, I've given everyone I know
A good reason to go
But I came back with a belief
That everyone I love is gonna leave me

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

And I know, oh no
You're falling from the sun
Crashing through the clouds
I see you burning out

And I know, oh no
That I put up a front
But maybe just this once
Let me keep this one

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright
I got nothing left inside of my chest
But it's all alright

I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
I can't help but look thinking that everyone doesn't get it

To my left is a window, where did I go?
My reflection just blends in, (?)
And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless and so

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life
Just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life
Just a better place to die

I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night
And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside

I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live
What you're calling a sin, isn't up to them
After all, after all
I thought we were all your children

But I will die for my own sins, thanks a lot
We'll rise up ourselves, thanks for nothing at all
So up off the ground, our forefathers are nothing but dust now

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life
Just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life
Just a better place to die

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth
I am over 25
And I can't make a name for myself
Some nights I break down and cry
I'm lucky that my father's still alive
He's been fighting all his life
And if this I've ever known
Maybe his soul live on forever
In my song

La-di-da da da da

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life
Just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life
Just a better place to die

In front of the other one
In front of the other one
Just a better place to die

This growing old is getting old
I often find myself here thinking
About the birds, the boats, and past loves
that flew away or started sinking
And it's crazy here without you
I used to think this all was ours
We stay up late debate
On how we find our way
You say, "It's all up in the stars"

Well, Some nights I rule the world
With bar lights and pretty girls
But most nights I stay straight
And think about my mom, Oh God
I miss her so much

And there are people on the street
They're coming up to me
And they're telling me
That they like what I do now
And so I tried my best when I took the fall
And get back right up and get in your arms
If you're out here why do I miss you so much?

I feel like I had it all
Back before I lost it all
Now I just wait for you to talk to me
But you won't even look at me, baby

And I've been saying that you
You're always holding onto stars
I think they're better from afar
Cause no one is going to save us

Oh, and me
Well I am fading in the dark
So don't you ever kiss me
Don't you wish on me
Why can't you see
That no one's going to save us?
Come on, girl

Come on girl
So should I or did I
I can't believe you'd do those things
I just need a helping hand
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
It never came true
It came true
It never came true

And you, you're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
Cause no one is going to save us

Oh and you, you're always holding onto stars
I think they're better from afar
Because no one is going to save us
Oh and me, Well I am fading in the dark
So don't you ever kiss me
Don't you wish on me
Why can't you see that
No one is going to save us.
No one is going to save me.

No, no, no.
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars

I set all my regrets on fire
Cause I know I'll never take the time
To unpack my missteps and call all of our friends
I figured they would take your side

I make the bed, just not that well
Your name comes up a lot
When I talk to my mom
Oh, I think she can tell

I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside

Now I'm causing a scene
Thinking you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done
There's no one to keep me warm

So maybe I should put a fight
I'll call them back and borrow a box knife
So I can learn to live with all the stupid shit
I've been doing since '99

And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more strong
But I'm waiting for the day you come back and say
"Hey, maybe I should change my mind"

I drink a lot
I'm not sure if that's new
But these days when I wake up from a night I forgot
I just wish that it never came true

I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside

Now I'm causing a scene
Thinking you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done
There's no one to keep me warm

And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could more strong
And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more clever

I knew there'd come a day
When all was said and done
Everything I was
Is everything but gone

All my big mistakes
Are bouncing off your wall
The bottles never break
The sorrow never comes

So come on let me in
I will be the sun
I will wake you up
I am who I was

Just open up your heart
Open up your heart
Open up your heart

I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside

Now I'm causing a scene
Thinking you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done
There's no one to keep me warm

Well I woke up to the sound of silence
The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains
And heart like the fourth of July
