Some Nights

Some Nights by Fun. is featured in Dynamic Duets, the seventh episode of Season Four. It is sung by the New Directions, with solos from Blaine, Jake, Joe, Kitty, Marley, Ryder, Sam, and Tina.

It is the final song of the episode. After Sam (as Blonde Chameleon) and Blaine (as Nightbird) break into the Dalton Academy to retrieve New Directions' National Championship Trophy, Blaine apologizes for almost moving back to Dalton Academy and for nearly becoming a Warbler again.

The New Directions, wearing red, walk onto the auditorium stage as they sing the song together, united. They sing and dance together as Finn watches from the seats, satisfied. The Glee Club places their passion and hearts in the performance. The New Directions stand and face toward Finn, finishing off the song. They clap and high-five each other as Finn sits and claps, looking proud of the New Directions.

Lyrics[]

Blaine with New Directions:
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

Jake with New Directions (Joe with New Directions):
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
(Oh, whoa) What do I stand for?
(Oh, whoa) What do I stand for?

Ryder:
Most nights, I don't know
Anymore

Joe with New Directions:
Oh, oh whoa, oh woah, oh
Oh, oh whoa, oh woah, oh

Blaine with Sam (New Directions):
This is it, boys, this is war (Oh, oh whoa)
What are we waiting for? (Oh whoa)
Why don't we break the rules already? (Oh)

Jake with Ryder (New Directions):
I was never one to believe the hype (Oh, oh whoa)
Save that for the black and white (Oh whoa)
Try twice as hard and I'm half as liked (Oh)
But here they come again to jack my style

Kitty (Marley):
That's alright (That's alright)

Kitty with Marley (Kitty):
(I found a) martyr in my bed tonight
Stops my bones from wondering
Just who I, who I, who I am
Oh, who am I?
Mmh

Marley (Kitty):
Who am I? (Mmh)
Who am I?

Blaine with New Directions (Blaine):
(Well) some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change

Ryder with New Directions (Joe with New Directions):
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win (I always win)

Jake with New Directions:
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh

Sam with New Directions (New Directions):
(Oh, woah) What do I stand for?
(Oh, woah) What do I stand for?

Sam:
Most nights
I don't know

Marley:
Oh, come on

Joe (Marley):
So this is it?
I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this? (Oh my, my)
I missed my mom and dad for this? (Oh my)

Tina (Marley):
(Oh, come on) When I see stars, when I see
When I see stars, that's all they are (Oh, come on)
And when I hear songs (Oh my, my)
They sound like a swan (Oh my)

Ryder:
So come on (Jake: Oh, come on) (Kitty: Come on) (Marley: Oh, come on)

Jake and Ryder with New Directions:
Oh-oh

Blaine with Sam (New Directions):
Well, that is it, guys, that is all (Oh, oh whoa)
Five minutes in and I'm bored again (Oh whoa)
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands (Oh)

Jake with Ryder (New Directions):
This one is not for the folks at home (Oh, oh whoa)
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go (Oh whoa)
Who the heck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun? (Oh)

Kitty:
My heart is breaking for my sister
And the con that she called "love"
And then I look into my nephew's eyes

Marley:
Man, you wouldn't believe
The most amazing things
That can come from
Some terrible lies, yeah, ah woah
Oh, ah, yeah, ah, oh whoa

Joe with New Directions (Tina):
Oh (Oh whoa, whoa, whoa) (Kitty: Oh, whoa)
Oh whoa (Oh, whoa, whoa, ooh) (Kitty: Oh, whoa)
Oh whoa (Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa) (Kitty: Hah)
Oh (Kitty: Haah)
Oh (Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa) (Kitty: Oh)
Oh whoa (Oh, whoa, whoa, ooh) (Kitty: Aah)
Oh whoa (Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Oh (Yeah)

Kitty and Tina (New Directions):
The other night, you wouldn't believe (Oh, oh whoa)
The dream I just had about you and me (Oh whoa)
I called you up, but we'd both agree (Oh) (Marley: Oh, come on)

Joe (New Directions):
It's for the best you didn't listen (Oh, oh whoa) (Marley: Yeah)
It's for the best we get our distance, oh! (Oh whoa, oh) (Marley: Oh, come on)
It's for the best you didn't listen (Oh, oh whoa) (Marley: Oh)
It's for the best we get our distance (Oh whoa, oh) (Marley: Woah)
(with New Directions: Oh)

Joe and Marley with New Directions:
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh!
