Some Nights (Remix)

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
Speak up on the black and white
I try to hold up and help this life
But then I come again to protect my side

I found a martyr in my bed tonight

Starts my bones from wondering just who I am
Who I am, who I am
Who I am, mmm, mmm

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

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

So come on, come on, oh, come on
So come on, come on, oh, come on

Well, penitent guy's, that is how
Five minutes in and I'm home again
Penitent is the only word anybody understands

This one's not for the folks at home
I'm sorry to leave, now I have to go
Who am I to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is wrecking 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

Every night, you wouldn't believe the
Dream I used to have about you and me
Could you not believe both of we?
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
