There are things
I have done
There's a place
I have gone
There's a beast
And I let it run
Now it's running
My way
There are things
I regret
To can't forgive
You can't forget
There's a gift
That you sent
You sent it
My way
[Chorus:]
So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace
There's a game
That I play
There are rules
I had to break
There's mistakes
That I made
But I made them
My way
[Chorus]
Some peace
Some peace
I have done
There's a place
I have gone
There's a beast
And I let it run
Now it's running
My way
There are things
I regret
To can't forgive
You can't forget
There's a gift
That you sent
You sent it
My way
[Chorus:]
So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace
There's a game
That I play
There are rules
I had to break
There's mistakes
That I made
But I made them
My way
[Chorus]
Some peace
Some peace

There's a dark side to us all, a "beast", and sometimes we forget to keep it in check.
What goes around, comes around, and now the "beast" "is running my way".
He regrets the bad things he has done, and it's eating away at him.
Some people say "How do you sleep at night?" as in, how could you peacefully sleep knowing the terrible things you've done?
Even though he's not forgiven, he still needs sleep and hopes for some peace.
His own regrets are preventing him from sleeping, and he just wants some peace of mind.
the very first time i heard this song was to that video and i think it goes way better with dexter not the shield but then again im partial to dexter lol.
check the video out you'll see what i mean.......

Anyway, I think this song is about someone who is in recovery (after drug addiction) and is attempting to piece his life back together and see who he has left in his life that still gives a sh*t. It really hit me hard when I first heard it because I was hopelessly addicted to smack for 6 years. After finally managing to break free from it, it was very difficult to try and fix relationships and get back up on my feet.
love the song!
