[[[ Complete lyrics ]]]

Spinning numbers
Hannah’s waiting for the summer to get here quick
So her worksheets and assignments won’t be able to make her sick

As a sophomore
She didn’t think that math would cost more time... than it has
And her anxiety won’t pass — no, it won’t

She’s nocturnal
She’s writing in her journal every night
Hoping things will turn out alright

And Maddie can’t believe
That people work before three
And go to bed before four — well, that’s p.m. and a.m., respectively

And her boss is a hardass
He’s on a warpath with the bar staff
And when you’re up all night doing chores — well, you get a little bored

So she’s nocturnal
She’s hoping that her turn’ll come one day
And she can find a better workplace

And Sara says it’s better not to sleep at all
She’s clearly never heard of daytime
The night belongs to her and every person in her circle
Making things for people who get up for their nine-to-fives

She needs the solitude that night gives to feel safe
I guess she’s more herself that way

She’s nocturnal
She’s hoping that her turn’ll come one day
And she can be happy in the first place
