Some Nights (intro) Lyrics
[Chorus]
Some nights, I stay up cashin' 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
(Oh-ooh, oh, oh) What do I stand for?
(Oh-ooh, oh, oh) What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh
Oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh
Oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1]
This is it, boys, this is war
(Oh, oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh)
What are we waiting for?
(Oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
(Oh, oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh)
Save that for the black and white
(Oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Try twice as hard, and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style
[Verse 2]
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? Mm-mm
Mm-mm
[Chorus]
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
(Oh-ooh, oh, oh) What do I stand for?
(Oh-ooh, oh, oh) What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know
[Bridge]
(Oh, 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?
(Oh, come on) No, when I see stars, when I see
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, oh, come on
[Verse 3]
Well, that is it, guys, that is all
(Oh, oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh)
Five minutes in, and I'm bored again
(Oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home
(Oh, oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh)
Sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go
(Oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Who the fuck wants to die alone
All dried up in the desert sun?
[Bridge]
My heart is breakin' for my sister
And the con that she called "love"
And then I look into my nephew's eyes
Man, you wouldn't believe
The most amazing things
That can come from
Some terrible nights
[Break]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (Alright, come on)
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh
Oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh
Oh-ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh
[Outro]
The other night, you wouldn't believe
The dream I just had about you and me
I'd called you up, but we both agreed
It's for the best you didn't listen, no
It's for the best we get our distance, oh-oh-oh
For the best, you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh-oh-oh-oh

We Are Young Lyrics
[Verse 1: Nate Ruess]
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 is waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses askin' 'bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're tryin' to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know, I'm tryin' hard to take it back
[Pre-Chorus: Nate Ruess]
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like fallin' down
I'll carry you home
[Chorus: Nate Ruess]
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
[Verse 2: Nate Ruess]
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
[Chorus: Nate Ruess]
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
[Bridge: Janelle Monáe & Nate Ruess]
Carry me home tonight
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Just carry me home tonight
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Carry me home tonight
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Just carry me home tonight
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
The moon is on my side, I have no reason to run
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
So will someone come and carry me home tonight?
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
The angels never arrived, but I can hear the choir
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
So will someone come and carry me home?
[Chorus: Nate Ruess]
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
[Outro: Nate Ruess]
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like fallin' down
I'll carry you home tonight
It Gets Better Lyrics
[Intro]
What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god
[Verse 1]
This is really happening
You never looked so bored
Can you feel my fingernails?
They've never been so short
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around
It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pourin' out
[Chorus]
Like starlight crashin' through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first, but it gets better
It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's hard to keep a straight face when I just wanna smile
Wish you could see the look that's in your eyes
[Chorus]
Like starlight crashin' through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first, but it gets better
It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better
[Bridge]
There's a fire in sky
Some snow on the ground
Not quite enough cigarettes
To calm me down
[Bridge]
What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god
[Outro]
It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better
(This is really happening) It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better
(This is really happening) It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better
Stars Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, come on, oh, come on
Oh, come on
Oh, come on, oh, come on
Oh, come on
[Verse 1]
This growin' old is gettin' old, I often find myself here thinkin'
About the birds, the boats, and past loves that flew away or started sinkin'
And it's crazy here without you, I used to think this all was ours
We'd stay up late, debate on how we'd find our way, you say it's all up in the stars
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And there are people on the street, they're comin' up to me
And they're tellin' me that they like what I do now
And so I tried my best when I took the fall to get right back up, back in your arms
If you're out here why do I miss you so much?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
And I'd be sayin' that you
You're always holdin' onto stars
I think they're better from afar
'Cause no one here is gonna save us
Oh, and me
Well, I have faded 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 gonna save us?
[Interlude]
Ooh, come on girl
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, come on girl
[Bridge]
I just need a helpin' hand
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
It never came true, it came true
It never came true
[Chorus]
Oh, and you
You're always holdin' onto stars
You're always holdin' onto stars
'Cause no one here is gonna save us
Oh, and you
You're always holdin' onto stars
I think they're better from afar
Because no one here is gonna save us
Oh, and me
Well, I am fadin' 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 gonna save us? No one's gonna save us, no one's gonna save me now
[Outro]
No, no, no, no, no, no
No one's gonna save us
Who we are, who we are, who you are, who you are, who you are, who you are
You're always holdin' onto stars
You're always holdin' onto stars
You're always holdin' onto stars
You're always holdin' onto stars
You're always holdin' onto stars
You're always holdin' onto stars
You're always holdin' onto stars
