4 AM Thoughts

Intro

It's 4 in the fucking morning.

Can't sleep.

Can't turn my head off.

Verse 1

4 AM, the room is quiet

Blue light dancing on my face

Everyone is somewhere dreaming

While I'm stuck inside this place

Got a thousand little questions

Running circles through my head

Things I wish I could've told you

Things I wish I never said

Pre-Chorus

And the ceiling knows my secrets

Better than I know myself

I keep reaching for an answer

But it's always somewhere else

Chorus

These are my 4 AM thoughts

The ones I hide when the morning comes

Every memory, every "what if"

Every place that I'm running from

I tell myself I'm doing fine

Then the clock turns 4:05

Maybe I don't need the answers

Maybe I just need to make it to sunrise

Verse 2

I replay old conversations

Change the endings in my mind

Wonder if I missed the warning

Or just missed the better sign

There are names beneath my ceiling

There are faces in the dark

And I wonder if they miss me

Or forgot me from the start

Pre-Chorus

I could write a hundred letters

I could send them all tonight

But some words are better carried

By the quiet morning light

Chorus

These are my 4 AM thoughts

The ones I hide when the morning comes

Every memory, every "what if"

Every place that I'm running from

I tell myself I'm doing fine

Then the clock turns 4:05

Maybe I don't need the answers

Maybe I just need to make it to sunrise

Bridge

4:17, the sky is changing

Just a little at the edge

All the things that felt enormous

Don't seem quite so heavy yet

Maybe nighttime makes them louder

Maybe daylight makes them small

Maybe I was never broken

Maybe I was tired after all

Final Chorus

These are my 4 AM thoughts

But they don't own me when the morning comes

I can leave them with the darkness

I can let the new day come

I don't have to solve my whole life

Before the sun can touch the sky

Maybe I don't need the answers

Maybe I just need to make it to sunrise

Outro

4 AM, the room is quiet

5 AM is getting close

I watch the blue become a sunrise

And let tomorrow write the rest.
