3 AM TRAFFIC
(R&B / dance-pop / soft rock tempo)

[Intro — whispered, glitchy]
Red light…
Headlights…
Three in the morning…
Why you still crossing my mind?
⸻
[Verse 1]
My words got stuck in traffic,
Somewhere between your pride and mine,
Signal lost in the static,
Running circles in my mind.
Phone screen glowing like sirens,
But your name never arrives,
Two hearts scared of colliding,
So we drive right past the signs.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You lost patience,
I lost trust—
Both pretending
we’re not us…
Tell me—
Did your shadow pass mine
under midnight lights?
⸻
[Chorus — catchy / explosive]
Wide awake at 3 AM—
Traffic jam inside my head!
Love letters,
Unread forever,
Spinning circles in red!
Oh-oh-oh—
We stop, we go,
But never slow enough to know…
At 3 AM,
At 3 AM—
Silence screaming
like a traffic jam!
⸻
[Post-Chorus — rhythmic]
Brake lights,
Heart fights,
City never sleeps tonight…
Hey—
Hey—
Why we acting like strangers
at the same red light?
⸻
[Verse 2]
Crowds of broken-hearted people
Waiting outside midnight doors,
Looking for somebody honest,
Looking for a little more.
Every silence feels crowded,
Every heartbeat echoes loud,
Your goodbye still rerouting
Through this ghost-town in the clouds.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You lost patience,
I lost trust—
Now the road keeps swallowing us…
Tell me—
Were we almost love,
or just almost enough?
⸻
[Chorus — bigger]
Wide awake at 3 AM—
Traffic jam inside my head!
Love letters,
Unread forever,
Spinning circles in red!
Oh-oh-oh—
We stop, we go,
But never slow enough to know…
At 3 AM,
At 3 AM—
Silence screaming
like a traffic jam!
⸻
[Bridge — rock lift / electric guitar]
Green light—
Too late—
Wrong turn on an empty interstate…
Your ghost rides
next to me—
Like unfinished poetry…
⸻
[Final Chorus — anthemic]
Wide awake at 3 AM—
Traffic jam inside my head!
All our promises
crash together
like words we never said!
Oh-oh-oh—
The city glows,
But nobody gets back home…
At 3 AM,
At 3 AM—
Silence screaming
like a traffic jam…
