1.Some Nights(Intro)
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Mixing：Jeff Bhasker
There are some nights I hold on to every note I ever wrote
Some nights, I say 'fuck it all' and stare at the calendar
Waiting for catastrophes, imagine when they scare me
Into changing whatever it is I am changing into...
And you have every right to be scared.
Cos there are some nights I hold you close, pushing you to hold
me
Or begging you to lock me up, never let me see the world
Some nights, I live in horror of people on the radio
Tea parties and Twitter, I've never been so bitter
And you, why you wanna stay？
Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately？
Lately, I've been going crazy...
And you, why you wanna stay？
Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately？
Lately, I've been fucking crazy...
There are some nights I wait for someone to save us
But I never look inward, try not to look upward
And some nights I pray a sign is gonna come to me
But usually, I'm just trying to get some sleep...
Some nights!
2.Some Nights
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
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 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!
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 at 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...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...
3.We Are Young(feat. Janelle Monae)
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Girl 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 seat's 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
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
âCause I found someone to 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
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
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
4.Carry On
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Mixing：Jeff Bhasker
Carry on
Well I woke up to the sound of silence
the cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
and I found you with a bottle of wine
your head in the curtains
and heart like the fourth of July
You swore and said
We are not
We are not shining stars
This I know
Cause I never said we are
Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
to know you can never look back
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
Carry on
Carry on, carry on
So I met up with some friends
at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked
about how our parents will die
All our neighbours and wives
But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you want of me
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
Carry on
Woah
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
Cause after all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one's ever gonna stop us now
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
Carry on
Carry on, carry on
5.It Gets Better
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
What are we doing, oh my god
What are we doing, oh my god
This is really happening
You never looked so bored
Can you feel my fingernails？
They've never been so short
It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around
It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out
Like starlight crashing 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
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
It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile
If you could see the look that's in your eyes
Like starlight crashing 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
There's a fire in sky
Some snow on the ground
Not quite enough cigarettes
To calm me down
What are we doing, oh my god
What are we doing, oh my god
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
6.Why Am I The One
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Mixing：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
I got enough on my mind that when she pulls me by the hair
she hasn't much to hold onto
She keeping count on her hand One, Two, Three days
that I been sleeping on my side
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
I wanna feel with the season. I guess it makes sense
cause my lifes become as vapid as a night out in Los Angeles
and I just want to stay in bed, and hold you like I used to
You know that I am home, so darling if you love me
would you let me know...
Or go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is
yet to come
Why and I the one always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that I'm right
where I belong
Why am I the one always packing all my stuff
She got enough on her mind
that she feel no sorrow
I let my fate fill the air
so now she rollin down her window
Never been one to hold on
but I need a last breath
so I ask if she remembers when
she used to come and visit me
we were fools to think that nothing could go wrong
Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet
to come
Why am I the one always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that im right
where I belong
Why am I the one always packing all my stuff
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
I'll move back down to this western town
when they find me out make no mistake about it
I'll move back down to this western town
when they find me out make no mistake about it
I'll move back down to this western town...
Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet
to come
Why am I the one always packin all stuff
Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet
to come
Why am I the one always packin all stuff
For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that im right
where I belong
Why am I the one always packin all my stuff
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
and I'll move back down...
7.All Alone
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir
I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you
She sounds the like the songs you used to sing to put me to
sleep
Now that you're gone, she's all that I've left to hold
And I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes？
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I can't be you
I thought you might appreciate
The way that she dances
The painted look upon her face
She must have come from the sun
I want to take her through the park
Where she'd tell me I'm all that she wants
If she could even talk
I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes？
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
And she seems...my shell
It makes me think of you
The way she carries the things that remind me of who
We used to be before we became antiques
She's a lot like you
But when I hold her too tight, I know she'll break
She just takes some glue to stay
I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes？
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
8.All Alright
Lyricist：Emile HaynieFun.Jake DuttonJeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Emile HaynieFun.Jake DuttonJeff Bhasker
And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
but it's all alright.
Yeah, it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
but it's all alright.
And I got the call soon as the day hit night.
As soon as the headlights lit up the Westside.
I stopped the car and came outside
Cause I know that tone.
I remember the first time
we wished upon parallel lines.
Waiting for a friend to call
and say they're still alive.
I've given everyone I know
a good reason to go.
I was surprised you stuck around
long enough to figure out
That it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
but it's all alright.
Yeah, it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
but it's all alright.
And now all my loves that come back to haunt me.
My regrets and texts sent to taunt me.
I never claimed to be more than a one-night stand
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.
And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
but it's 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 all
And I know, ohh nooo,
You've fallen from the sun.
Crashing through the clouds.
I see you burning out.
And I know, ohh nooo,
that I put up a front
But maybe, just this once,
let me keep this one.
And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
but it's 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.
Yeah, it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
but it's 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.
9.One Foot
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen.
I can't help but love thinking everyone doesn't get it.
To my left there's a window.
Where did I go？
My reflection just blends in. and bad ideas, but ideas
nonetheless in a song.
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 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 happen to stumble upon a chapel last night.
And I can't help but back up when I think of what's happens
inside.
I got friends looked in boxes. And no way to live.
But you call it 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 raise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all, so up off
the ground up for fathers who 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 twenty-five 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 is all I've ever know then may his soul
live on forever in my song.
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.
10.Stars
Lyricist：Fun.Jeff Bhasker

Mixing：Fun.Jeff Bhasker
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
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
Say it's all up in the stars
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
And there are people on the street
They're coming up to me
They're telling 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
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
And I'd be saying that you
You're always holding on to stars
I think they're better from afar
Cause no one 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？
Oh, come on girl
I just need a helping hand
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
It never came true
It came true
It never came true
Oh, and you
You're always holding on to stars
You're always holding on to stars
Cause no one is gonna save us
Oh, and you
You're always holding on to stars
I think they're better from afar
Because no one is gonna save us
Oh, and me
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？
No one's gonna save us
No one's gonna save me now
No, no, no
No, no, no
No one's gonna save us
Who we are, who we are
Who you are, who you are
You're always holding on to stars
You're always holding on to stars
You're always holding on to stars
You're always holding on to stars
11.Out On The Town(Bonus Track)
Lyricist：Emile HaynieFun.Jeff Bhasker
Writer(s)：Emile HaynieFun.Jeff Bhasker
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
I figure they would take your side
I make the bed, just not that well
Your name comes up a lot
When I talk to my mom
Oh, I think she can tell
I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside
Now I'm causing a scene, but you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done？
There's no one to keep me warm
So maybe I should put up a fight
I'll call them back and borrow a box knife
So I can learn to live with all the stupid shit I've been doing
since '99
And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more strong
But I'm waiting for the day you come back and say
'Hey, maybe I should change my mind'
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
I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside
Now I'm causing a scene, but you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done？
There's no one to keep me warm
And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more strong
And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more clever
I knew there would come a day when all was said and done
(And I know I could be more clever)
Everything I was is everything but gone
(And I know I could be more strong)
All my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall
(And I know I could be more clever)
The bottles never break, the sorrow never comes
(And I know I could be more clever)
So come on let me in, I will be the sun
(And I know I could be more clever)
I will wake you up, I am who I was
(And I know I could be more strong)
Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart
(And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more)
I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside
Now I'm causing a scene, but you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done？
There's no one to keep me warm
