Night owl
ASL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was headed for the exit of this party
Put a finger on my wrist
That’s how you stopped me
And you said hey,
Why you leaving so soon?

I was in a bad mood until you saw me
Ran into my ex and his new body
And then you said hey,
Tell me somethin’ bout you

I’m just tryna to get your number
Would you mind it if I call ya?
If you really plan on leaving
Maybe I could call you later

I ain’t lookin for no passion
Just a temporary distraction
Lemme just imagine
You're a temporary distraction

Fuck till me I forget bout him (x2)

I dont really smoke much
I’m just getting my lips high
She don't really drink much
But i'm still sippin’ tequila
She just had one shot
had myself about 6 of
Whatever's on the top shelf
Whatever's on the top shelf at the perch in Monte Nido

Blurred them lines up
Baby
I’m a headcase lately
Treat you like my idol
Are you just my night owl ?

Fuck till me I forget about him(x3)

Blurred them lines up
Baby
I’m a headcase lately




Treat you like my idol
Are you just my night owl ?
