[Verse 1] Nocturnal walks in late Shoes wet from the rain At the corner store Watching faces say my name I know how to laugh I know how to play it cool But every crowded room Still feels like somebody's school [Pre-Chorus] I keep one hand in my pocket One eye on the door I can hear the whole world calling Still I want a little more [Chorus] Nocturnal, let me in I wanna belong again Nocturnal, let me in I wanna belong again (again) I want a seat at the table I want my voice in the choir [Verse 2] Your porch light burns gold On a street that never sleeps And everybody's got a place While I count the cracks beneath my feet I wore my best brave face Like it was stitched on tight Still I come home lonely When the hallway swallows light [Pre-Chorus] I keep one hand in my pocket One eye on the door I can hear the whole world calling Still I want a little more [Chorus] Nocturnal, let me in I wanna belong again Nocturnal, let me in I wanna belong again (again) I want a seat at the table I want my voice in the choir [Bridge] If I knock three times Will you know it’s me? I’m tired of standing outside With my heart against my sleeve Say there’s room for my name Say there’s room for my face I’ve been brave all night Just to find a place [Final Chorus] Nocturnal, let me in I wanna belong again Nocturnal, let me in I wanna belong again (again) I want a seat at the table I want my voice in the choir
