2AM.
Still awake.

Phone at one percent.
Lipstick on the glass.
Your name on the screen.

I don't answer.

[Verse]

I like the city better
when nobody's asking questions.

Streetlights flicker.
Taxi doors slam.
Somebody's laughing
three floors above me.

I bought a drink.
Didn't finish it.
Changed my mind
twice.

Maybe I'm indecisive.
Maybe I just like
having options.

(Cute.)

[Build]

Left.
Right.
Wrong turn.

Same street.
New face.

Don't call.
Do call.

I don't know.

I don't care.

I care a little.

[Hook]

2AM
and I'm still outside

2AM
with the whole world quiet

If I disappear
don't make it tragic

I just get bored
of being predictable

2AM
and I'm still alive

2AM
with the city in my eyes

Maybe tomorrow
I'll want something different

Tonight
I don't need a reason

[Post-Hook]

Oh, well.
Oh, well.

Maybe that's enough.

Oh, well.
Oh, well.

Don't make it harder.

[Verse]

I got a bad habit
of changing the subject
You ask where I'm going
I say, “Why do you need to know?”

New shoes on the pavement
Headphones too loud
Everybody wants something
I don't wanna hand it out

No, I don't need
another lecture
No, I don't need
another protector

I know what I look like
I know what I sound like
I know what they whisper
when I walk by

Let 'em.

I got places
I got plans
I got nothing
in my hands

That's the point.

[Break]

I could go home.

I could call you.

I could say
I miss you.

I won't.

Probably not.

[Whispered]

Maybe.

[Hook]

2AM
and I'm still outside

2AM
with the whole world quiet

If I disappear
don't make it tragic

I just get bored
of being predictable

2AM
and I'm still alive

2AM
with the city in my eyes

Maybe tomorrow
I'll want something different

Tonight
I don't need a reason

[Rap Interlude]

No plan.
No map.
No “where you at?”

Read it.
Leave it.
Call it back.

Too late.
Too soon.
Wrong place.
Right mood.

I don't need
a green light.

I don't need
permission.

I just need
one more song
before the sun comes up.

[Bridge]

Maybe I spend my whole life
running from a version of me

that everybody else
already decided I should be.

Maybe that's why
I keep moving.

Maybe that's why
I like the night.

Nobody expects anything here.

[Final Hook]

2AM
and I'm still outside

2AM
with the whole world quiet

If I disappear
don't make it tragic

I just get bored
of being predictable

2AM
and I'm still alive

2AM
with the city in my eyes

Maybe tomorrow
I'll want something different

Tonight
I don't need a reason

[Outro]

2AM.

Still awake.

Still me.

(Cute.)
