TV glow breathing soft and slow Static whispers just to drown the echo. lungs forget the air,Eyes snap open, Sheets are soaked, hell still in my stare. Takes a minute just to know my name, Walls look strange, but the room’s the same. Hands are shakin’, chest won’t let me be, Then I feel you breathin’ next to me. Pre-Chorus Your weight held me like a quiet prayer Tryin’ to crawl inside my skin, stay there, Yeah you don’t speak, but you understand, Pull me back with a steady hand. Chorus It’s 3:18 AM, Clock don’t blink, just judges. Nobody’s awake, nobody’s there, Just my ghosts and this old fan. Heart runs wild, mind won’t sleep, Daytime scars don’t ever leave. I lay here wonderin’ who else I am, Starin’ at the dark at 3:18 AM. Verse 2 Thoughts hit hard like fists at night, Every word I swallowed comes alive. Things they said, things I didn’t say, Every wrong turn plays in replay. Stress still hums in my blood like fear, Even when the world ain’t here. I reach for a phone I know I won’t use, Truth feels heavy, there’s no one to choose. Pre-Chorus Silence louder than a loaded gun, Tryin’ to outrun what I’ve already done. Then I feel you shift, like “I’m right here,” And the dark don’t seem so near. Chorus It’s 3:18 AM, Same damn hour, different day. Nobody to call, nowhere to run, Just the weight I can’t outrun. Breath by breath, I start to see, I survived another memory. Still wonderin’ who else I am, Wide awake at 3:18 AM. Bridge (drop instruments, just guitar and voice) Maybe somewhere there’s another soul Wide awake, losin’ control. Same cold sweat, same stare at time, Same quiet war in the back of their mind. If you’re out there starin’ at the wall, You ain’t alone, no… not at all. Pre Chorus I keep it all behind my teeth Every word I never speak If I let it out, it all might break I don’t know how much more I can take Final Chorus Yeah it’s 3:18 AM, But the sun still owes me a chance. I ain’t broken, I’m still standin’, Just bruised by what I couldn’t outrun. I breathe deep, let the panic end, Feel your weight pull me back again. If you’re wonderin’ who else I am— I’m right here at 3:18 AM. Outro TV hums… dark breathes slow… I’m still here. And that’s all I need to know.
