Wiki:

“The Nights” by Avicii is an ode to good fun and also to the singer’s father. The “pirate-y fight” (as described by the writer Nicholas Furlong) sound to the song was inspired by the bars in Ireland, where they play folk music which is upbeat and easy to dance (and drink) to. This song is also Avicii’s contribution to the soundtrack of EA Sports‘ FIFA 15.

[Verse 1] (Hey) Once upon a younger year When all our shadows disappeared The animals inside came out to play (Hey) Hey, went face to face with all our fears Learned our lessons through the tears Made memories we knew would never fade [Pre-Chorus] One day my father he told me "Son, don't let it slip away" He took me in his arms, I heard him say (Hey) "When you get older Your wild heart will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid" [Chorus] He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember" My father told me when I was just a child "These are the nights that never die" My father told me [Pre-Drop] (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) [Drop] (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) [Verse 2] When thunderclouds start pouring down Light a fire they can't put out Carve your name into those shining stars He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores Don't forsake this life of yours I'll guide you home no matter where you are" [Pre-Chorus] One day my father he told me "Son, don't let it slip away" When I was just a kid, I heard him say "When you get older Your wild heart will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid" [Chorus] He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember" My father told me when I was just a child "These are the nights that never die" My father told me [Pre-Drop] (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) "These are the nights that never die" My father told me [Drop] (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) Ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Hey, hey) Oh-oh (Hey) (Hey, hey) (Hey, hey) Ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Hey, hey) Oh-oh [Outro] My father told me
