Worst Nites Lyrics

[Chorus]
All my worst nights are the best times
West Coast stealin' all my shut-eye
All my worst nights are the good kind
High life filtered through the lo-fi

[Verse 1]
Startin’ it up after dark
Chasin' thoughts, cruisin' through Echo Park
Joined the vultures eatin’ paradise
Gettin' tilted, yeah, we'll pay the price
But ain't it nice?

[Pre-Chorus]
Never say goodbye, we say hello
Faded in the sunshine and the snow

[Chorus]
All my worst nights are the best times
West Coast stealin' all my shut-eye
All my worst nights are the good kind
High life filtered through the lo-fi

[Verse 2]
Skippin' lines and brushin' past the suits
Duckin' pictures and droppin’ some truths
And now I’m gettin' lost up in the Hills
But cruise the ’Gram and now I'm catchin' feels
Is this for real?
[Pre-Chorus]
Never say goodbye, we say hello
Faded in the sunshine and the snow

[Chorus]
All my worst nights are the best times
West Coast stealin' all my shut-eye
All my worst nights are the good kind
High life filtered through the lo-fi

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Uh-huh

[Bridge]
Yeah, you know
It’s only in L.A. 
Yeah
Uh-huh
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Only in L.A. 
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

[Chorus]
All my worst nights are the best times
West Coast stealin' all my shut-eye
All my worst nights are the good kind
High life filtered through the lo-fi
[Outro]
(Lo-fi, lo-fi)
Yeah, uh-huh
Highs filtered through the low
You know, woo
High life filtered through the lo-fi

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 [?]
