**2AM** [Intro] 2AM Your name on my screen. That's funny. I thought we were done doing this. [Verse 1] You sent a picture of the ceiling No caption, just that little crack above your bed I knew exactly what you meant You used to stare at it when you couldn't get me out your head I typed “What's wrong?” Deleted it Typed “You okay?” Deleted that too Funny how three years of knowing somebody Still leaves you guessing what they want from you Then your message came through: “Do you still keep the record I left?” I laughed out loud in the dark Like, “Girl, you really couldn't think of anything else?” [Pre-Chorus] You always did this Say something small Hide something bigger underneath it Like I wouldn't know And I always caught it Every single time Maybe that's the problem Maybe that's why you're still on my mind [Chorus] It's 2AM And we're talking like the clock don't exist You ask what I'm doing I say, “Nothing” You say, “That's not what I meant” It's 2AM Your voice got that old familiar edge You laugh at something I don't even remember saying And suddenly I'm wearing that same stupid grin again It's 2AM Neither one of us is saying it But neither one of us is hanging up [Verse 2] You told me you still take the long way home Just to pass that little diner we used to hate Said the pancakes were terrible But you liked the booth in the back Where nobody knew our names I said I drive past your old apartment sometimes You said, “Sometimes?” I said, “Don't worry about it” You laughed that quiet laugh The one that always means You know when I'm lying Then there was silence Not uncomfortable Just familiar I heard a train outside your window You asked if I was alone I looked around my room At all the things I never moved Your old coffee mug The book you never finished That blue sweater you forgot Still hanging behind the bedroom door [Pre-Chorus] You always did this Say something small Hide something bigger underneath it Like I wouldn't know And I always caught it Every single time Maybe that's the problem Maybe that's why you're still on my mind [Chorus] It's 2AM And we're talking like the clock don't exist You ask what I'm doing I say, “Nothing” You say, “That's not what I meant” It's 2AM Your voice got that old familiar edge You laugh at something I don't even remember saying And suddenly I'm wearing that same stupid grin again It's 2AM Neither one of us is saying it But neither one of us is hanging up [Bridge] You ask if I'm happy I say, “Yeah” You say, “Good” But you don't sound like you mean it I ask if you're seeing somebody You say, “Why?” I say, “No reason” You say, “Exactly” Then we both laugh Because that's us Always circling the truth Like we're afraid it'll move If we stand too close to it [Breakdown] 2:17… 2:26… 2:41… You said, “I should let you sleep.” I said, “Yeah.” Neither of us moved. [Final Chorus] It's 2AM And somehow the years got smaller You say you should go But your voice gets softer It's 2AM And I can hear you smiling through the phone You don't say you miss me I don't say it either We just stay on the line Until the silence starts feeling like home It's 2AM… And neither one of us is hanging up [Outro] Your breathing got quiet… I thought you fell asleep. Then you whispered… “You still there?” Yeah. 2AM. I'm still here.
