The Gambler

¤ We should live, until we die

¤ He believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone


Carry On

¤ 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


Sight of the Sun


¤ I like to think I have everything I want from this life

¤ For once there is nothing up my sleeve
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me


Light a Roman Candle With Me


¤ But we owe it to ourselves to try so we aim and ignite

¤ Don’t think of tomorrow tonight


¤ Just a roman candle, just a perfect apple

Benson Hedges

¤ 'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
He'd better start looking today

¤ Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony.
But what it's trying to play,
I don't know

¤ I want to be forgotten.
I don't care to be forgiven

Be Calm

¤ I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
for better or for worse, I've yet to know

¤ Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?

¤ I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
and be calm

¤ I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm

¤ You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm

All Alright
¤ And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright

¤ I've given everyone I know
A good reason to go
But I came back with the belief
That everyone I love is gonna leave me.

Stars

¤ 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

¤ I feel like I had it all
Back before I lost it all

¤ You're always holding onto stars
I think they're better from afar
Cause no one is going to save us

Barlights

¤ and for the first time
in a long time
I feel alive

¤ But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come

¤ I can feel it on the tip of your tongue

One Foot


¤ I can't help but look thinking that everyone doesn't get it

¤ I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

¤ What you call 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

It Gets Better

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

¤ If you could see me
Whoever I am
It's not like a movie,
It's not all skin and bones
So come on love

Take Your Time (Coming Home)

¤ It's a beautiful thing when you love somebody

¤ Now I'm not scared
of a sound
or the states
or the stages
I'm not scared
I've got friends
took my call
came courageous

¤ Now I feel like I am home

¤ And the truth is that I feel better because I’ve forgiven everyone


Some Nights

¤ I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked

¤ When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are


¤ Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from
Some terrible lies

Some Nights (Intro)

¤ Some nights, I live in horror of people on the radio

¤ Tea parties and Twitter, I've never been so bitter


¤ Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately?
Lately, I've been going crazy...

¤ And some nights I pray a sign is gonna come to me

All the Pretty Girls

¤ Please don't make me face my generation alone.
At Least I’m Not As Sad (As I Used to Be)

¤ So I left, that is it. That’s my life, nothing is sacred.
I don’t keep friends, I keep acquainted,
I’m not a prophet, but I’m here to profit.

¤ At least I’m not as sad as I used to be.

I Wana Be the One

¤ Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past

Why Am I the One?

¤ go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet to come

¤ I finished kissing my death, so now I head back up the steps
Thinking about where I've been, I mean the sun was never like this

All Alone

¤ How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are


Out On the Town

¤ 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

¤ So I can learn to live with all the stupid shit I've been doing since '99

¤ 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

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

¤ knew there would come a day when all was said and done
Everything I was is everything but gone


It just so happens that I made a list of possible quotes to put on my wall. So these are my favorites that do not include profanity

One that always sticks in my head is "Some nights I say fuck it all"

[VintageBlossom14]

i dont have any favorite lyrics! i love them all!!!!!!!! i do agree with intothesun though! with the 'One that always sticks in my head is "Some nights I say fuck it all"' lol

Same One of the things that really got me hooked on fun. is that they are a pop band whose lyrics actually mean something. I'm big on lyrics. I have a whole notebook just for favorite lyrics from songs So yeah, I love that their lyrics aren't random words that are catchy. Here are some (but definitely not all) of my favorite lyrics. I can post the rest later.

So I can personally relate to nearly every lyric in Some Nights, which is why I love it so much. It's a song that pretty much anyone can relate to at least one lyric in. For me, the one I relate most to is:

"Some nights I wish that this all would end cuz I could use some friends for a change. Some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again."

More:

"You hate your pulse because it still thinks that you're alive."

"I've got nothing left inside of my chest but it's all alright."

"Please don't make me face my generation alone."

"You should've seen me a couple of years ago. I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing 'Come on can you count all the loves that didn't last.'"

"It was the winter of '89 and all the fields had frozen over, so we moved to Arizona to save our only son, and now he's turned into a man, though he thinks just like his mother, he believes we're all just lovers, he sees hope in everyone."

"That is it. That's my life. Nothing is sacred. I don't keep friends, I keep acquainted. I'm not a prophet, but I'm here to profit. That's all. I'm gone. That's my life, nothing is sacred. I don't fall in love, I just fake it."

"Some nights I rule the world with barlights and pretty girls, but most night I stay straight and think about my mom. Oh God, I miss her so much.'

"If you're right here, why do I miss you so much?"

"I try twice as hard but I'm half as liked."

That's what I have written down. I probably misquoted some of the songs, but whatever.

"I was stranded in a border town believing the motel TV would bring me to safety but between MTV and Mr. O'Reilly, I've come to find, that I can't be defined so I turned it off."
It was so catchy when I first heard it and it still is!

Not trying to be annoying but its "some terrible nights" I just wouldn't want you to put that up on your wall and see that its not the right lyrics...

Oh yeah and my absolute favorite has to be "forgive everyone". Honestly EVERYONE should live by that lyric. It has got to be the best advice I've received through song.

[intothesun]

I actually copied and pasted the lyrics from websites and then chose which to put, (I have a rather small wall) and those didn't make the cut, so I didn't think to look at them on the document. Thank you for caring though, it would definitely suck to paint the wrong lyrics!

[Mika]

birdsboatspastlove
I'm actually listening to that song right now And you are totally right. Great lyric, and definitely one everyone should live by.

[birdsboatspastlove]

Ugh how can a band be so satisfying in EVERY song they create? I will never get it.

[intothesun]

I don't think any of us understand how they do it.
