  • Street lights, turn on one by one
    My hope is, descending like the sun
    Try to tell myself there's
    Freedom in the loneliness (oh baby)
    Always restless, story of my life
    Disconnected, body clock's not right
    Try to tell myself that, I'ma get some sleep tonight

    Found myself where I started, yeah
    This isn't where I want to be
    The time that I find hardest, yeah
    Always comes eventually

    My shadow doesn't show in the dark
    The night time is inclined to my heart
    The emptiness I felt from the start
    Will follow me till I fall apart
    Nocturnal (oh)
    Nocturnal (oh)
    Nocturnal (oh)
    Nocturnal (oh)

    My demons are blocking out the light
    And my mind is, about to loose the fight
    Why can't I find peace, when a caracal could sleep tonight, yea
    Your absence, isn't something that I choose, yeah (choose, choose choose)
    But he truth is, you were never mine to loose (loose, loose, loose)
    Said that I feel lifeless, tryna get away from you
    Oh baby, oh

    Found myself where I started, yeah
    This isn't where I want to be
    The time that I find hardest, yeah
    Always comes eventually (woo-hoo)

    My shadow doesn't show in the dark
    The night time is inclined to my heart
    The emptiness I felt from the start
    Will follow me till I fall apart
    Nocturnal (oh)
    Nocturnal (oh)
    Nocturnal (oh)
    Nocturnal (oh)

    Oh, baby, oh

    Uh, my shadow doesn't show in the dark
    The night time is inclined to my heart
    The emptiness I felt from the start
    Will follow me till I fall apart
    Nocturnal (oh)
