Lyrics

Night Owl

Don't need your number, babe, but I'll take it anyway I spent my nights recalling of showers in the morning And what you said that day, I'll take it to the grave But once I'm in the grave, you won't care anyway So let's imagine right now I'm just another night owl And if you're going out tonight, girl The city is my lighthouse So let's imagine right now I'm just another night owl And if you're going out tonight, girl The city is my lighthouse No need for comfort, babe, but I'll take some anyway Don't need the roller blades you got on holiday I'll take the feelings that I wish I never had You take your favorite band, that shit was always bad I think I've seen a ghost, she walks along this coast And on the breakfast shows, all the FM radio hosts Keep playing "Paparazzi" I think I loved you most when we were in my galaxy So let's imagine right now I'm just another night owl And if you're going out tonight, girl The city is my lighthouse So let's imagine right now I'm just another night owl And if you're going out tonight, girl The city is my lighthouse So let's imagine right now (So let's imagine right now) I'm just another night owl (I'm just another night owl) And if you're going out tonight, girl The city is my lighthouse
