So Many Nights

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 other 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
