Night Time, My Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm useless and I know it
Auditory hallucination, you said
"I don't care what I'm thinking about
But I'm thinking of you right now"
[Chorus]
Night time is my time
I'm drowning, not waving
Falling in space
Will I slow down?
Or go faster and faster
Into you maybe?
Slow down right now
[Verse 2]
I wouldn't feel anything
When we burst into dust forever
And no angels will help us out
'Cause they've all gone away
[Chorus]
Night time is my time
I'm drowning, not waving
Falling in space
Will I slow down?
Or go faster and faster
Into you maybe?
Slow down right now
I'm useless and I know it
Auditory hallucination, you said
"I don't care what I'm thinking about
But I'm thinking of you right now"
[Chorus]
Night time is my time
I'm drowning, not waving
Falling in space
Will I slow down?
Or go faster and faster
Into you maybe?
Slow down right now
[Verse 2]
I wouldn't feel anything
When we burst into dust forever
And no angels will help us out
'Cause they've all gone away
[Chorus]
Night time is my time
I'm drowning, not waving
Falling in space
Will I slow down?
Or go faster and faster
Into you maybe?
Slow down right now

Genius Answer
In a 2019 interview with Pitchfork, Sky said of the song:
I wrote it in the middle of the night, half-asleep. Then I woke up the next day and I finished it in an hour. I still have the notes; the handwriting’s all fucked up.
