Worst Nites – English Lyrics

• By: Foster The People

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

All my worst nights are the best times

West Coast stealing all my shut-eye

All my worst nights are the good kind

High life filtered through the lo-fi

Starting it up after dark

Chasing thoughts, cruising through Echo Park

Joined the vultures eating paradise

Getting tilted, yeah, we'll pay the price

But ain't it nice?

Never say, "Goodbye," we say, "Hello"

...

Faded in the sunshine and the snow

All my worst nights are the best times

West Coast stealing all my shut-eye

All my worst nights are the good kind

High life filtered through the lo-fi

Ahh

Ahh

Ahh

Ahh

...

Skipping lines and brushing past the suits

Ducking pictures and dropping some truths

Now I'm getting lost up in the Hills

But cruise the 'Gram and now I'm catching feels

Is this for real?

Never say Goodbye, we say Hello

...

Faded in the sunshine and the snow

...

All my worst nights are the best times

West Coast stealing all my shut-eye

All my worst nights are the good kind

High life filtered through the lo-fi

Ahh (yeah)

Ahh

Ahh (uh huh)

Ahh

...

Yeah, you know

It's only in L.A

Yeah, uh huh

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

Ahh

Only in L.A

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

All my worst nights are the best times

West Coast stealing all my shut-eye

All my worst nights are the good kind

High life filtered through the lo-fi

(Lo-fi, lo-fi)

Yeah, uh huh

Highs filtered through the low

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

You know, woo

High life filtered through the lo-fi

...
