The city’s quiet from my window Streetlights fading in the rain I told myself I wouldn’t think about you But here we are again Your name is sitting on my screen I never type a word Some things sound better in the silence Some things are better left unheard Maybe I was holding on To something that was never mine Maybe I just needed time It’s 3:17 in the morning And I’m still awake I don’t need you to come back I just need this feeling to fade There’s nothing left to say now Nothing left to change But every night when the whole world disappears I remember your face I still take the longer way home Past the places that we knew Not because I hope I’ll see you I just don’t know what else to do And maybe somewhere in the future You’ll become somebody I knew A song I barely recognize A winter I once lived through Maybe I was holding on To something that was never mine Maybe I just needed time It’s 3:17 in the morning And I’m still awake I don’t need you to come back I just need this feeling to fade There’s nothing left to say now Nothing left to change But every night when the whole world disappears I remember your face I won’t call I won’t ask I won’t try to make it last Some lights fade Some doors close Some people leave And that’s all we ever know It’s 3:17 in the morning But tonight feels different somehow I still think about you sometimes I just don’t need an answer now There’s nothing left to say now Nothing left to rearrange Maybe one day when the whole world disappears I won’t remember your face 3:17 The city’s still awake So am I
