**[Intro]** 4:17. Still awake. Fuck. **[Verse 1]** Blue light bleeding from my phone screen, Empty bottle by the bed. Every stupid conversation Playing circles in my head. Should've stayed. Should've left. Should've fought. Should've known. Funny how at four in the morning Every mistake comes home. **[Pre-Chorus]** The ceiling doesn't answer. The silence doesn't care. I close my eyes for twenty seconds... And every memory's there. **[Chorus]** It's 4:17 AM, And my head won't shut the hell up again. Every word I should've said, Every road I didn't take Is running through my brain. 4:17 AM, I'm fighting conversations that already ended. The whole damn city sleeps... But me. I'm wide awake again. **[Drop]** Four-seventeen! Can't shut it down! Four-seventeen! Thoughts going round and round! Tick-tock! Heart stop! Make the fucking noise stop! Four-seventeen! **[Verse 2]** I pick my phone up from the nightstand, Type your name and let it sit. Write three words, erase eleven, Then decide against all of it. I check the pictures I should delete, Then hate myself for looking twice. There's nothing quite as dangerous As loneliness and Wi-Fi late at night. **[Pre-Chorus]** The refrigerator's humming. A car goes down the street. Somewhere somebody's dreaming. Why the hell can't that be me? **[Chorus]** It's 4:17 AM, And my head won't shut the hell up again. Every word I should've said, Every road I didn't take Is running through my brain. 4:17 AM, I'm fighting conversations that already ended. The whole damn city sleeps... But me. I'm wide awake again. **[Break]** 4:32. Still awake. 4:48. Still awake. 5:03. Fuck this. **[Build]** Get up. Cold water. Open the window. Breathe. The sky is changing. Wait... The sky is changing. **[Drop]** LET IT GO! Let the night run out! LET IT GO! Let the morning drown it out! Heart beats! Sunrise! There's a little fucking light outside! **[Bridge]** Maybe I don't need the answers tonight. Maybe every question doesn't need a fight. Maybe some things stay unfinished. Maybe that's all right. Because somewhere beyond these rooftops... Morning is already on its way. **[Final Chorus]** It's 5:17 AM, And my head is finally slowing down again. Every word I never said Can stay exactly where it is. I don't need it anymore. 5:17 AM, There's a line of gold breaking through the window. The whole damn city sleeps... And for the first time tonight, I think I can let go. **[Final Drop]** Five
