About

4 AM is a song about grief, insomnia, and holding on, even when the night feels endless.

Lyrics

Chorus

Four A.M., four A.M. again!

Here we go, here we go again!

I close my eyes

But the night won't let me in!

Four A.M., running from a ghost

Don't know what I'm running from

I just know it won't let go!

Oh, I just wanna sleep!

I just wanna sleep!

One night without the running

One night without the dreams!

Four A.M., four A.M. again!

Verse 1

Another night, another pill

Another promise to be still

The lights go out, the clock ticks on

My body's tired, my mind is gone!

I'm back inside that endless place

Something's coming, no escape

I run until I'm out of breath

Then wake up tired all over again!

Pre-Chorus

It started the day you slipped away

Now every shadow speaks your name

Tick-tock, heart stops, midnight call

I'm running, I'm falling, I'm losing it all!

Chorus

Four A.M., four A.M. again!

Here we go, here we go again!

I close my eyes

But the night won't let me in!

Four A.M., running from a ghost

Don't know what I'm running from

I just know it won't let go!

Oh, I just wanna sleep!

I just wanna sleep!

One night without the running

One night without the dreams!

Verse 2

It's afternoon when I wake up

Heavy eyes and an empty cup

I slept for hours, still so tired

My system's down, my brain is wired!

You left some words on a folded page

I keep them close in this dark cage

They pulled me through the coldest night

When I couldn't even stand and fight!

Pre-Chorus

I wish you stayed, I hate this pain

You left your words, but you left me drained

Breathe in, breathe out, scream inside

You saved my soul, but I'm losing my mind!

Bridge

Make it stop, make it stop, turn off the light!

I don't wanna run, gonna win this fight!

No more running, no more fear

I JUST WANT THE NOISE TO DISAPPEAR!

No running!

No falling!

Just close my eyes...

LET ME REST FOR ONCE!

Chorus

Four A.M., four A.M. again!

Here we go, here we go again!

I close my eyes

But the night won't let me in!

Four A.M. again

But I'm still holding on

Your words are somewhere in my head

Reminding me to carry on!

Oh, I just wanna sleep!

I just wanna sleep!

Not forever

Just deep!

Outro

Four A.M... Four A.M...

Running, running, here we go again!

No sleep, no rest!

The sun is coming up, but I'm still obsessed!

Four A.M...

Four A.M...

Just let me rest...

Five A.M.
