Some Nights

My fiance and I were on our way home from Tripps Restaraunt when we heard this amazing song on the radio. My fiance managed to find out what it was called and by who. It's called "Some Nights" by a band called Fun. I listened to it....and I shit you not.....it totally reminded me of Garrus Vakarian from the Mass Effect series! We also loves how they mixed alternative with 80s beat. It was so damn catchy! Ironically it was played on 99X.

"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!

That's alright.
(That's alright).
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
Stops my bones from wondering
who I, who I, who I a-a-a-a-am.

Well, some nights I wish
that this would all 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
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!

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 back home.
Sorry to leave mom, I had to go.
Who the fuck wants to die all alone in the desert sun?

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

The other night,
you wouldn't believe the dream
I 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.
It's for the best you didn't listen.
It's for the best we get our distance...."
