2AM

You showed up wearing last night’s makeup

Half drunk talking fast in my driveway

Said you hate this town when it gets cold

But you never really leave though

And your friends all think I’m bad news

You laugh when they bring my name up

Blue lights from the TV flicker

You look different in the dark

⸻

Oh, don’t start this again

You know where this ends

2AM and your friends all gone

You only call when something’s wrong

I can’t let it go

Even when you go cold

Driving slow with the window down

Tryna find my way back home

⸻

Weeks pass and it feels the same

Static buzz from the radio plays

You say things that you don’t mean sober

Then get quiet when I get closer

And your hair still smells like smoke

Cheap perfume on my old clothes

I should probably move on by now

But I don’t really know how

⸻

I can’t let it go

Even when you go cold

2AM and I’m still awake

Waiting on your name to glow
