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

oh woah, oh woah, oh oh oh
oh woah, oh woah, oh oh oh

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? mmm… mmm…

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
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don’t know… (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?

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that’s all they are
When I hear a song, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, oh come on

Well, this 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 fuck 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”
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… ahhh…

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

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… oh…
It’s for the best you didn’t listen
It’s for the best we get our distance… oh…

Girl 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 seat’s 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 new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back so let’s raise a toast
‘Cause I found someone to 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

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The moon 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
