2:17 AM… still awake again Phone screen lighting up the room Your name still hits too soon I don’t call, I don’t move But I replay what we used to do It’s quiet but it’s loud inside Your side of the bed still cold I say I’m fine, I say I’m good But that story’s getting old Every night the same blue light Same shadow on the wall If I reach out one more time Would it change at all? 2:17 AM I almost text your name But I let the silence win And let the moment end 2:17 AM You’re somewhere not the same We don’t say goodbye We just let it fade Late hour, low power mode Thoughts run circles on this road No anger left, no fight to start Just distance growing in the dark You said maybe someday soon But someday never came I don’t blame you, don’t blame me We just changed If I dial, I might fall If you answer, that’s worse We both know what it costs To reverse Still I watch the minutes crawl Like they mean something 2:17 again And it means nothing 2:17 AM I almost say your name But some doors close soft Without a sound of blame 2:17 AM Love don’t disappear It just stays awake This late every year 2:17… still here
