Nights Like These Lyrics

I’m not waiting, I’m going big
‘Cause I can imagine much better than this
I’m not waiting til I’ve figured it all out
I need a dream for right now
I’m not waiting for a guarantee or a map
And I know that everything I want is totally unrealistic
But there’s something about the way the sky is so clear, so high
I’m starting to think that I can rely on the stars to guide me

CHORUS
On nights like these you get a taste of freedom
You can say the word and I will take you with me
If we are brave and if we break
We’ve got to try to believe on nights like these
Nights like these

It’s not a plan, It’s just a flame
That lights up my name
A simple message to retain, so I know what I’ll say
Tie me to the choices I make
Tie me to all the things at stake
Hold me to the prayers that I say
Remind me

CHORUS
Unbuild these walls, in this place
Let’s make a moment for what we’re afraid of
Unbuild me, today
Let’s make a moment for us

Ooooh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
