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's waiting for me just across the bar My seats been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar and I know I gave it to you months ago I know you're trying to forget but between the drinks and subtle things the holes in my apologies you know I'm trying hard to take it back so if by the time the bar closes and you feel like falling down I'll carry you home 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 And I know that I'm not all that you got I guess that I I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart But our friends in back So let's raise a toast Cause I found someone to carry me home Tonight We are young So let's the 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 Carry me home tonight Just carry me home tonight Carry me home tonight Just carry me home tonight The moon is on my side I have no reason to run So will someone come and carry me home tonight The angels never arrived but I can hear the choir so will someone come and carry me home 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 So if by the time the bar closes and you feel like falling down I'll carry you home tonight
I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen I can't help but look thinking that everyone doesn't get it
To my left is a window, where did I go? My reflection just blends in, (?) And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless and so
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside
I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live What you're calling 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 We'll rise up ourselves, thanks for nothing at all So up off the ground, our forefathers are nothing but dust now
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth I am over 25 And I can't make a name for myself Some nights I break down and cry I'm lucky that my father's still alive He's been fighting all his life And if this I've ever known Maybe his soul live on forever In my song
La-di-da da da da
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
In front of the other one In front of the other one Just a better place to die
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
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?
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
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh Lord, I still don't know 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.
That 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 is not one for the folks back home; I'm 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 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.
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...
