Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Keys on the table Thermos by the sink You move in the dark Quiet as a blink Coffee on your breath Work boots by the door You kiss us on the forehead Then you’re gone once more [Chorus] You’re up at 2:30 A.M. Every day, again and again Holding up the sky so it won’t fall We see every sacrifice Every mile behind your eyes You think you’re small You’re not at all You’re our 2:30 A.M. hero (oh) You’re our 2:30 A.M. hero [Verse 2] Pay stubs on the counter Groceries on the chair You always take the leftovers Say you’re “never hungry, swear” Laugh lines, tired shoulders Still you joke, still you sing You turn the smallest payday Into everything [Chorus] You’re up at 2:30 A.M. Every day, again and again Holding up the sky so it won’t fall We see every sacrifice Every mile behind your eyes You think you’re small You’re not at all You’re our 2:30 A.M. hero (yeah) You’re our 2:30 A.M. hero [Bridge] One day we’ll tell the story Of the nights you never slept All the dreams you bought for us With the hours that you kept If you ever feel alone Driving through the dawn Hear our voices in your head Singing you this song (oh) [Chorus] You’re up at 2:30 A.M. Every day, again and again Holding up the sky so it won’t fall We see every sacrifice Every mile behind your eyes You think you’re small You’re not at all You’re our 2:30 A.M. hero You’re our 2:30 A.M. hero

pop, Warm mid-tempo pop ballad with female vocals; gentle piano and soft acoustic guitar in the verses, blooming into a bigger chorus with airy pads, live bass, and steady drums. Subtle vocal stacks on the hook for lift, light percussion and tambourine in the last chorus, intimate mix that keeps the lead vocal front and center.
