[Intro] Midnight again There you are [Verse 1] Eleven fifty-nine, she's winding down Or at least that's what she tells herself Closes the laptop, turns out the light Then an idea comes out of nowhere One little thought becomes a line One little line becomes a sound She knows exactly how this goes She's not going to bed now [Pre-Chorus] The quieter the whole world gets The louder something starts She thrives at midnight It's her favorite part [Chorus] She's a night owl Comes alive when the lights go down Whole world's sleeping She's wide awake now Night owl Chasing sparks across the room Not always convenient But what can she do? When the clock says stop That's when the magic starts She hits her creative streak In the dark [Post-Chorus] Ooh, night owl Ooh, night owl Everybody's sleeping She's just getting started [Verse 2] One in the morning, headphones on Two in the morning, still going strong Three little notes become a song And suddenly another hour is gone Coffee's probably a bad idea She makes one anyway Tomorrow morning's gonna hurt That's tomorrow's problem anyway [Pre-Chorus] The quieter the whole world gets The louder something starts She thrives at midnight It's her favorite part [Chorus] She's a night owl Comes alive when the lights go down Whole world's sleeping She's wide awake now Night owl Chasing sparks across the room Not always convenient But what can she do? When the clock says stop That's when the magic starts She hits her creative streak In the dark [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Maybe she was made for moonlight Maybe quiet makes things clear Maybe all the words she's looking for Wait until nobody's here She'll swear tomorrow night is different She'll get to bed on time Then midnight puts its hand on hers And says I brought you something [Build] Just one more line Just one more sound Just one more tiny change Before she shuts it down Just one more line Just one more sound Oh, who the hell Is she kidding now? [Final Chorus] She's a night owl Comes alive when the lights go down Whole world's dreaming She's building one right now Night owl Chasing sparks across the room Never very convenient But she loves it too When the clock says stop That's when the magic starts She hits her creative streak In the dark [Outro] Three in the morning Four isn't far She thrives at midnight It's her favorite part Night owl Night owl "Okay, seriously... I'm going to bed." "...after I fix one thing."
