2 am

2 am is my safe place, I love being awake when the world is quiet. 2 am was born from the feeling I get when I am at peace.

Lyrics:

2 am
Mug on the nightstand
Steam like a halo
Cursor on a blank screen
But my head finally slows
Fridge hum
Faint car
Somewhere turning down the road
Every little sound
Saying "hey
You made it home"

This quiet feels like an old friend
Waiting on the porch light left on
Saying "you can lay your weight down
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright"
In the hush where the noise ends
I remember who I’ve been all along
2 am
When the world goes soft
And I can breathe again

Bills in a stack
Face down on the table
Phone on its face
No one asking for a favor
Moon paints the wall
With a crooked little smile
I laugh to myself
"stay here with me a while"

This quiet feels like an old friend
Waiting on the porch light left on
Saying "you can lay your weight down
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright"
In the hush where the noise ends
I remember who I’ve been all along
2 am
When the world goes soft
And I can breathe again

Heart’s been loud all day
Now it finally speaks in whispers
All the things I tried to outrun
Catch up but they feel lighter
I’m small
That’s okay
Under this big
Gentle sky
If tomorrow comes in swinging
I’ve still got this slice of night

This quiet feels like an old friend
Waiting on the porch light left on
Saying "you can lay your weight down
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright"
In the hush where the noise ends
I remember who I’ve been all along
2 am
When the world goes soft
And I can breathe again
