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 hell 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 lies...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...

+ChristerD McH XD this made me laugh a lot
+🔥TheSillyGirl3000🔥 You won't have to wait that long, it's just a problem of legality.
Yeah... They look soooo alike! They sing the same too.
+ChristerD McH i honestly believed that! that took me awhile to realize it is a joke XD
Well I just tried to sing along while laughing with this comment.
The singing part didn't work out that well.
God sure was in a good mood the day He made You...
I can't stop staring at his tie xD
Christie-Ann Snelling Nova pls.
Jesse Kielman
Aleks pls
Christie-Ann Snelling IKR OMG
Christie-Ann Snelling i love his eye's o_O
ikr
"…and some claps. Yeah." xD
It seems like just yesterday this came out! Still just as good now as it was then!
Almost 10 years after the making and im still a huge fan
I like how you left the part where you lost balance in at 2:54 :)
bruce88lee hahah
How'd I just notice that? lol
Lmao
You should do carry on my wayward son, by Kansas. Anyone else agree?
Omg yes
Yes yes yes yes.
Devon Stewart oh that could be awesome !
Devon Stewart A thousand thumbs to that!
Devon Stewart please yes please....
I completely forgot about this song. I started to cry when I heard it cuz I have such a strong connection to this song 🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭
If you wanna have some fun, screw around with the speed settings in the settings ;) . . .
True that
haha.. or maybe slowmo @ 3:15...!!! XD
speed: 0.5
Clifford Montes that sounds like T-pain autotune lol
Singit500 I'm sure I'll have a lot of "FUN"!
Singit500 you just made my life complete!!
music doesn't have to have a meaning. its the feeling that you get from hearing it. not the words behind it! everyone feel the feels
Who needs One Direction when you have 5 perfectly cloned Peter Hollens?(Hollenses? xD)
Exactly XD
Who needs one direction period! Peter Hollens is an excellent bonus though! lol
BlueParrot Games this is not one direction
Cucumbers
r/wooosh
This song was made by Fun.
Lol I would love to see you try out the Bohemian Rhapsody
EDIT: If we get enough 1+s he might do it!
EDIT2: Just passed 150+s and the video just hit 4,000,000 views!
i think he has or was that mystery guitar man?
Oh my god yes!!! PLEASE!!
Whenever I make a good comment it will get 40 like ups then stop...
YES! PLEASE!
YES!
Hands down, the BEST COVER on CZcams.....Get this guy a contract now!
Santa_Clause TOTALLY
Ikr
+Santa_Clause Maybe you can give him a contract for christmas, santa
XD
+AUDO3000 and ChuckleNuts he should
I know right? I'll try MUCH harder next time! :) Sorry to disappoint you. I was going for 100 arm flails, but I got a cramp.
Peter Hollens , I think you did just fine. You really slayed this!
yea that really goes with the song style
Is is just me when he says "They sound like this one" it sounds like he is saying "They sound like a swan"?
Nope. I just heard that as well. o.O
+Surbhi Rao "They sound like a swan" IS the actual lyric.
Leedark3 Oh haha thats great. I just searched the lyrics. Thanks!
+Surbhi Rao I was confused... Even at the real lyrics... A swan?
Sydte a Haha exactly
This song suddenly popped in my head a few minutes ago and had to look it up =)
May I just say, I love the ties.
Don't worry. Those goosebumps will go away in about 10 minutes.
Well done luv your music
Peter, you shouldn't be thanking us it is your amazing voice
how can possibly 900 people dislike this perfection
because they don't have his talent so they don't like him is my best guess
+Artem Shestakov Mayb it's because the video that shows how he made this music video shows him not actually singing. That's my best guess.
+Artem Shestakov It's 898 now
I dunno, maybe haters? I don't know how they could push the dislike button...
Whenever I see a comment like this I say "look at the likes" :)
Random Lawnmower. Forgot how great this cover is, think this I was the first hollens vid i saw. Great energy.
my first was him with lindsey stirling in skyrim
+Vexurath same
+Vexurath yeh
Amazing!
love the lawn mower! You are truly amazing
Love the energy in this one!!
Thanks, cause watching artists containing their joy really gets on my nerves. . .standing there all still and somber. . .Pffft! Where's the happy? Keep bringing the happy, please!!!
Mr. Peter Holland, this is fantastic. The way you sped up the song really made it so fun! You are amazing!!!
Quickly this one is getting to be one of my favorites, I love it when you get active. You stand for enjoyment with your followers.
Absolutely incredible!
😂😂 lol "AUTOTUNE: ON" just made my day!
The riding lawnmower kills me, lol.
This one is so great, can't stop to enjoy!
Beautiful, just beautiful!
you make almost everything better
He should definitely team up with Pentatonix. That would be amazing. They both have worked with Lindsey Stirling
I want to thank you, Peter. This song is the first song I heard from you, and it still inspires me from time to time and keeps me going on.
OMG - How have I not seen this until today? I LOVE this!!!
Brilliant!!!! ))
This is one of my favorite songs from you. Keep up the great work! By the way, I would really love to see either "Demons" by Imagine Dragons or "We are Young" by Fun
Agree with that
One of the things I love most about the way you perform is the amount of fun you seem to have, your enthusiasm for what you do is infectious!
This is INCREDIBLE!!
Haha that auto tune thing made me laugh😂 LOVED the whole song! Well done 😄
I just have to say... You're too cool, Peter! I have yet to see another artist film a video while driving about on a riding lawn mower, or dancing in a river!
this song is so contagious!
Peter, you are amazing! I love all your songs!!!
Wow you hit that high "Oh come on!" Perfect brother. Respect bro! I was kinda scetchy about it simce this is acapella after all and. FUN uses voice enhancers. But man you blew my hat off! Great voice. Keep it up. Respect from a fellow Tenor.
i never know how I feel about this cover because the singing itself is out of this world but the video is like a teen heart-throb boyband video xD eh, love it anyway!
I think that was the point ^.^, he was making fun of it
I absolutely cannot get enough of this guy. He's amazing.
Going back and watching old videos and this is still one of my favorites you've done...
You're still so amazing, and it never ever changes.
Just.... Wow. I found your channel today and you are just AWESOME! I just purchased your Skyrim theme, downloaded in FLAC and took it to the record studio to hear it in best quality ;)
cool it's the the best song on youtube i think awsome
Officially my favorite version of this song, by far! Thank you for sharing.
Literally chills
Awesome! All this and a riding mower! :)
I actually like this better than the original song
its great bc he PG'd it :D
Though i wish he cut out the autotune lol
This is amazing ..... Cannot stop listening to these songs. Thank you for doing it.
no words......amazing....
u got a new subscriber !!!!
Can you and Evynne do 'Love is an Open Door' from Frozen?
*****
It would be... :D
OMG....yes please!!
YAAAAS
Jamie Hoffmann YAAAAAS see ive gotten 50 1 thingys on google DO ET
DO EEEEEET
Omg please more of this awesome blessed energy!!! Light up the world!!!! Now and forever!!!! Bless You
oooh.... I love this song n I love the way you sing it....thanks for the beautiful voice Peter...
I think it's better than the original in some sense.
So positive, so powerful! And love the autotune diss!
Don't worry about him... I really admire your musical talent. You made me a fan of Game of Thrones with Rains of Castamere.
Four years later, still a major fan. Love that I'm been following you for so many years
One of my favorites by Peter Hollens.... Thank you Peter!
I love this!
Not sure why you're driving a lawnmower in parts though...
Because YOLO. :) It's a song about hedonism, so naturally the "just because" factor would be greatly emphasized.
Indeed! A fantastic version of an awesome song.
HOLY SHIT! you are amazing! this is my favorite song by fun, and I prefer you over the original :)
I like him better than the original too
Such a talent!
your music got me through some tough times, thank you Peter
I love how your just riding a lawn mower hahahaha
I just need to ask why he`s riding on a tractor.....
Surbhi Rao For fun. Now for the real question, why is he wandering around a field for no apparent reason?
why not get some chores done why your at it
Zigglegarf looking for his tractor
or why he's just wading torso-deep in a river?
or why he's wading in a river
3 Years have passed and I still can´t get enough of this song!
This is the very first time I have heard this song - love it.
just... the tractor... and wading in the river
I would like to hear you do immortal by fall out boys
I second this.
Wow! Just wow!
This is an absolutely INCREDIBLE arrangement!!! Amazing job, Peter!!!
Don't do drugs,do Peter Hollens.......wait that sounded wrong.
HEY sorry... hes married.
That ring can be taken off any time... :P
Vexurath nonono youre right
LMAO
I personally felt like there were certain parts in the song where his lead came off a bit weak, but overall this cover was really good. And his range is AMAZING. What Im wondering is if his uses an octavisor to lower his voice for the bass part or if he's actually hitting the notes.
Pretty sure he actually has that range. I think the weakness of his leading is a good thing, 'cause that's part of his point with the autotune bit in the middle--a lot of singers today use too much autotuning to help them hit notes that really aren't in their ranges...but Peter actually works just with his (already amazing) range.
Ben Rosenbaum I personally feel your wrong.
I cried your voice is so beautiful
there is so much beautiful chaos in this video I love it.
Could you maybe make a version of Good Time from Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen?
HAHA! Love that auto-tune!
It's just AWSOME !!!!
Very high energy!
Peter,
Firstly, I'm a big fan and a member of the Hollens family. I'm generally impressed with the quality of your videos, your talents as a vocalist, and the sheer number of talented guest musicians you seem to work with. So, with that in mind, here are some requests, things that I'd like to see that I think some of the rest of your viewership might appreciate.
1) Do a cover of Bush's "Glycerine" with Lindsey Stirling and a talented acoustic guitarist you know(I'm sure there's someone).
2) Look up Walk Off The Earth and see if you can do something with them. That would be combining my Number 1 and Number 2 favourite CZcams musicians into one video.
3) I'd like to hear your take on "Say Something" by A Great Big World, probably performed with your wife(who is incredibly talented as well).
I think these are all excellent undertakings that you could do quite well(although the geographical problem separating you and WOTE might be difficult). Anyway, I don't expect to hear back from you, but hopefully you see this and take these ideas into consideration.
Thanks a lot, and good luck to you.
Yes please for number 2 :)
Better than original :)
+samuel creed His songs are better than the originals! Love this guy!
+Heather Smith yeah. ALWAYS
I love how he's just wandering around on totally random places, like out in the lake c': it's those small things that brings a smile to my face, good job!
This version is almost two years old and I still love it!
I do, Peter. I think autotune is the worst invention in music.
Great video, by you! ;)
I feel as if auto tune is used correctly in small increments it can be ok. I feel as if the overuse of autotune or using to cover the fact you can't sing is the worst thing that happened to music.
+lesser260 Maybe Kanye West could use auto tune... PLEASE!!
+Bill Stanley two negatives don't always make a positive :D kanye needs to get his ass kicked in every way possible, never heard a song of him and never will, a rapper saying he's "the greatest rockstar" says enough, and then I saw him "sing" bohemian rhapsody ... I respect rap but I can't respect people like him :p
Give a like if you love nate reuss's album Grand romantic, if you never heard of it go check it out
I love that you covered some songs from FUN. I love them! Thank you Peter. I love everything you do! You are JOY!
This is grand. Thank you for your hard work!
;D autotune, i love your happy spirit
Well, the original drips autotune...
McKenzieDaae It's entirely possible to do with your voice, too. Makes you wonder if he actually used autotune.
(I mean obviously he said he did, but still.)
McKenzieDaae it really doesn't Ive listened to him unmiced in a small room and his voice really sounds like that! its got that natural autotune sound to it idk how to explain it.
Adam Richardson oh like Roomie?
Peter hollens...
I love this song alot ...great voice
I applaud this performance! Wow! This is great!
