It's 3 am
I'm sitting at the piano trying to begin
To write a song that's gonna make it all make sense
Again
It's 3 am
And instead of counting sheep I'm summoning the fae
'Cause I wanna say something that won't let you forget
My name
I've been waiting all my life
Yearning for something I can't place
The greatest luxury is time
Is mine wasted on this chase?
And I want you to know
It wasn't easy letting go
I keep pressing my nose
Against the window to your world
It's 3 am
I wish the day was longer but this night won't end
Until I find the words that match the soundtrack
In my head
It's 3 am
And the traps I planted in my backyard caught fairytales
But some are old and most are dead
And it's too late to change the bait
I've been waiting all my life
Yearning for something I can't place
The greatest luxury is time
Is mine wasted on this chase?
And I want you to know
It wasn't easy letting go
I keep pressing my nose
Against the window to your world
And I want you to know
It isn't easy letting go
I keep pressing my nose
Against the window to your world
It's 3 am
And I know you're drinking about me
And you see my face
And I wish your heart beats faster
When you stop to hear me sing
