So Many Nights Lyrics

So many nights waiting for something to happen

So many nights just wasting my time

Spent so many nights wishing I'd gone to bed and stayed in

So many nights I've wished I was home

But not tonight, there's a whole world out there

Of noise and colour and of hopes and dreams

Just for tonight, the whole world's my oyster

Searching for something more

So many nights ready for a bad decision

So many nights, let's make some regrets

Spent so many nights looking for something or someone

So many nights spent sad and alone

But not tonight, there's a whole world out there

Of noise and colour and of hopes and dreams

Just for tonight, the whole world's my oyster

Searching for something more

Nothing worse than being on the pull

Pretending to be young, dumb and beautiful

I'd rather be at home sat watching Skins

Than the sweaty hellhole that I'm dancing in

Why did I think this would be the place

When I can hardly hear over drum and bass

Dancing on my own beside my mate

As he desperately searches for a girl to date

Please stop, don't exaggerate

You're not in love with the girl you just met

You can barely see and don't know her name

But if I was in your place I'd have said the same

And that's the painful truth

It gets me through to when I'll dream of you

Oh, it'll do all this deja vu

So many days spent hiding beneath the covers

So many days just lying in bed

Spent so many days anxious and full of self loathing

So many days spent hating myself

But not tonight, there's a whole world out there

Of noise and colour and of hopes and dreams

Just for tonight, the whole world's my oyster

Searching for something more

Lights down and I'm on the floor

I've had too much but I'm begging for more

Friends giving advice that I'll ignore

Wondering what I degrade myself for

Not going to find your girl next door

When you ruin your jeans sliding on the floor

A drunken throng is all I see

Screaming along to Wannabe

I wonder how on earth can this be me

When there's so many places that I'd rather be

Lies I tell myself

In reality I haven't liked this since I was twenty-three

And that's the painful truth

It gets me through to when I'll dream of you

Oh, it'll do all this deja vu

You know it gets me through to when I'll dream of you

Oh, it'll do all this deja vu

So many nights waiting for something to happen

So many nights just wasting my time

Spent so many nights wishing I'd gone to bed and stayed in

So many nights begging to go home
