Intro – piano + low choir + heartbeat kick)
3 AM…
And I can’t sleep again
Room dark…
Mind loud…
(Verse 1)
Laying in the dark staring at the ceiling
Every little thought got my head spinning
Tried to drown it out, tried to stay busy
But the silence hitting different in me
All the things I did, all the things I said
Running through my mind like they never left
Every road I took, every wrong turn
Every bridge I crossed just to watch it burn
Everybody thinks that I’m doing fine
But they don’t see the war inside
When the lights go off and the noise goes down
That’s when truth gets loud
Feels like something pulling on my soul
Like I ain’t really in control
Like a voice I never wanted to hear
Getting closer every year
(Pre-Chorus)
Why does it hit when the night gets still
Why does it feel so real
Like somebody standing in the room
And I know I can’t move
(Chorus – HUGE)
3 AM calling
And I can’t run now
Hear Your voice in the silence
Breaking me down
3 AM calling
When the world asleep
Every lie I believed
Coming off of me
3 AM calling
And I feel that pull
Like You see my heart
Like You know it all
3 AM calling
And I know tonight
I can’t keep living
Like I’m alright
[(Verse 2 – rhythmic / NF style)]
Yeah
I tried everything just to feel okay
Different highs just to numb the pain
Different roads but they lead the same
Right back here in the dark again
Looking in the mirror like who is that
Same old mask but it’s starting to crack
Same old life that I used to chase
Don’t feel right in this place
I remember when I didn’t care
Didn’t think twice, didn’t say no prayers
Now I feel something I can’t explain
Like a weight on my chest, like a drop of rain
Like I know I’m wrong but I don’t know why
Like I see the truth but I wanna hide
Like I hear Your name in the quiet air
Like You always there
(Pre-Chorus)
Why does it hit when the night gets still
Why does it feel so real
Like somebody standing in the room
And I know I can’t move
(Chorus)
3 AM calling
And I can’t run now
Hear Your voice in the silence
Breaking me down
3 AM calling
When the world asleep
Every lie I believed
Coming off of me
3 AM calling
And I feel that pull
Like You see my heart
Like You know it all
3 AM calling
And I know tonight
I can’t keep living
Like I’m alright
[(Bridge – cinematic / choir / no drums first)]
You were there
All along
Through the right
Through the wrong
Every step
Every fall
You still heard
Every call
Choir chant:
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
(Final Chorus – biggest)
3 AM calling
Now I hear You clear
Through the doubt and the fear
You were always here
3 AM calling
And my heart breaks through
Every road led me
Right back to You
3 AM calling
And I feel that light
In the darkest hour
Of my life
3 AM calling
And I know tonight
This the moment
That I change my life
Outro (soft choir)
3 AM…
Still awake…
Still calling…
