Lyrics
How did it get to 3 am?
Reflecting on how time has passed, wondering how it became 3 am
I wish that I could call
Expressing a desire to call someone
But I know that you're probably asleep
Acknowledging that the person is likely asleep
Do I really have to get used
Questioning the necessity of getting used to being alone
To being alone again?
Expressing discomfort with the idea of being alone again
I wish that I could call
Reiterating the wish to make a call despite knowing the person is a best friend
But I know that you are my best friend
Emphasizing the importance of the person as a best friend
Do you really have to dream?
Questioning if the person has dreams
I'm perfectly happy
Claiming to be happy in reality but wide awake
In reality I'm wide awake
Reflecting on thoughts about the upcoming day
I think about the things
Thinking about future plans and activities
That I will do tomorrow and the trek
Referencing the darkness outside and others being asleep
Things are dark outside and everybody else is fast asleep
Feeling isolated, holding onto the remote control
My hand is glued to the remote
Hand glued to the remote, referencing TV's statement about being frozen in sleep
The TV has already said
TV indicating a frozen state during the night
'Tonight I'm frozen in my sleep'
Expressing a desire to move but feeling afraid
I want to move but I'm afraid
Revealing suffering from anxiety and not wanting to be alone
Suffering from anxiety
Expressing a desire to be with someone
I don't want to be alone!
Empty line
You see, I want to be with
Expressing a desire to be with someone (continued)
You
Repetition of expressing a desire to be with someone
You ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-You ooh ooh
-Yeah baby
Addressing the desired person affectionately as "baby"
You are the one I think of
Expressing longing for the person and recalling intimate moments
All the night
-And all the night it feels so right
-I miss your arms
-The way you kiss me
-The way you pull me in so tight
-It makes me sick but then we'd fight
Expressing conflicting emotions, wanting the person despite potential fights
But I want you so bad tonight
-You are the one I think of
-All the night
-And all the night it feels so right
-I miss your arms
-The way you kiss me
-The way you pull me in so tight
-It makes me sick but then we'd fight
-But I want you so bad tonight
-I want to change my future one
Desiring to change the future, mentioning room and passions
My desire change my room
-Passions are trivially spent
-Obviously it hurts me to believe
-And in my fatal judgement
-Cut off my electricity
-And now I'm really stuffed
-I'll make an effort, take a left
-Clean the house to stop me crying
Expressing determination to make changes and face challenges
And if you cry, you're taken out
-There won't be room for Miss Sincere
-I'm afraid this is all or nothing
-And I haven't got a hope
-At least I've got another friend
-Turns out I was just a joke
-I'm holding onto what I've got
-I'm tryna get just what I want
-And I'll pick the pieces up tomorrow
Planning to pick up the pieces tomorrow
Cut the pill and take my chances and a half
Reference to cutting a pill and taking chances
Yeah baby
Reiteration of affectionate address as "baby"
You are the one I think of
Repetition of expressing longing for the person and acknowledging potential conflicts
All the night
-And all the night it feels so right
-I miss your arms
-The way you kiss me
-The way you pull me in so tight
-It makes me sick but then we'd fight
-But I want you so bad tonight
-Yeah baby
-You are the one I think of
-All the night
-And all the night it feels so right
-I miss your arms
-The way you kiss me
-The way you pull me in so tight
-It makes me sick but then we'd fight
-But I want you so bad tonight
