[Verse 1]
When I say that I'm not playin', get the f** out of my face, leave me alone
By myself, don't know what's real, I'm driftin' off
Just know I feel like I'm the one
I am not trying to talk to you
Or go on a walk with you
You have said more than enough
I want to do this by myself
And I'm gold-plated, yeah, I'm shinin'
I don't show what's underneath this mortal soul
[Hook]
But in the nighttime, taking over
In the nighttime, it's just me, it's just me
[Verse 2]
I hear you calling, but I'm done with everybody
I'm not sorry, not at all
I'm not here, I'm in my head where you can't find me
And I'll never let you in
Try all you want or cry about it
Give me those eyes about it
Not gonna work with me
Midnight driving, f**in' flying
I'm that guy who pa**ed you by
You never know
[Hook]
'Cause in the nighttime, I'm taking over
In the nighttime, it's just me, it's just me
[Verse 3]
I am a ghost
Disappear when I want
I'm lost in the smoke
No one is holding me down
No one is holding me down
And f** your superstition
I make my own decisions
I cannot control the forces of the world
Take the hand, it's down
Try to make it work
See me with the curves
Switch it up, I swerve
[Hook]
'Cause in the nighttime, I'm taking over
In the nighttime, it's just me, it's just me
[Verse 4]
And when I say that I'm not playin', get the f** out of my face
You got it now
'Cause I'm not trying to go over what I'm thinking
Not with you or anyone
Always planning all my moves
I'm playing chess with you
I don't trust a single person here, and nor should you
Trust is a rarity, that is so clear to me
That is a guarantee, I promise you
