Fun.: Some Nights [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Directed by Anthony Mandler

LYRICS
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 woah oh oh
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah 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 songs, 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...

Why don’t we get songs with this type of energy anymore?

[desmondbayor]

I love to listen to this song at night. Not every night, some nights.

[jbrock]

I'm 77, and singing in a choir.
Now we are studying to sing this song. Wars are still going on in our World. It makes me sad. So full of passion I sing this song.

[andrewcruz]

Some nights I stay up wishing this genre of Americana Pop music would come back it was so good....

[boomerdoomer]

It’s so weird, it feels like 2012-2013 was yesterday and with all the stuff that’s been happening, I’m glad this music was created

[razhaqqiirlambang]

You know a song isn't dying when you still see comments of a few days ago.

[🉑]

Its April 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song😧

[MasterBruce-jjij]

As a combat soldier that fought in several theaters and retired from the US Army this song literally speaks to me and at the age of 71 I still don't know what I stand for.

[necktienick]

Still one of the best songs ever made.

Some nights I wish the band would get back together

[storeyjonca]

Aww is it just me or does everyone else want this type of music to come back on to the radios

[damon]

If only they were still releasing songs like this and we are young. Ive been listening to these songs a lot the last few months.

[josephdow]

Freddie Mercury is smiling down on this singer. What a voice.

[tylerhilpisch]

This song is 7 years old, time really does fly.

[rilesatwork]

I feel like this band just defined a generation with 3 songs

[algorhythm-P]

I love his stomping / bouncing as he sings. It looks so good, it fits so well with the frustrations he’s feeling.

[c.s.hadebe]

I know a lot of people love "We Are Young", but I feel like this is Fun.'s best song. It's a hot take, I know, but that's just how I feel. Such a memorable song.

[XxXNinjaFanXxX]

this is the type of music you shouldnt be ashamed to blast on your way home from work

[strmgamer]

Haven’t listened to this in like 5 years but still know all the lyrics

[andyNAS]

God has landed me here after weeks of frustration searching for this song!!! I needed this song to remember how I overcame one of the toughest and lowest moments of my life. It's 2am in Nairobi. After weeks of trying to remember this song, I finally find it. And sleep a happy man 😊😊😊

[stonebone]

I love how the drums sound so military. Brings me back to my usaf times.
