"3 O'Clock Things" lyrics
"3 O'Clock Things"
Come on guy, I promise everything will be alright, be okay
Your eyes are tired but keep 'em open
'Cause you wouldn't want to miss a thing
(Come on guy, I promise everything will be alright, be okay
Your eyes are tired, but keep 'em open
'Cause you wouldn't want to miss a thing)
It's kinda funny how I paid for college when YouTube was an option
But then I would've had to spend my best years
Skipping ads and reading comments
And when the hell did advertisements get so good, they're like narcotics
So now I'm spending every penny I own
I should've allotted to finishing college
It's kinda funny how I keep debating
If someone's shy or if they hate me
I feel like everyone I know right now
Is hooking up and getting wasted (Without me)
And maybe sex is overrated but we're too shy to ever say it
So we pretend we're all amazing
It's 3 am I should be sleeping
Would you go running if you saw the real me?
Maybe you'd love 'em
Yeah, maybe you'd feel me
But I'll never ask you, no that's super scary
Sorry to bail, it's already 3 o'clock
It's too hard to tell if anything's real or not
It's kinda funny how you vote for someone
To vote for someone, to vote for someone
And you might end up with someone evil, but you say that he means well
If I keep on talking politics, my friends will dip, they're over it
If I keep on talking politics, I'm Hamilton (without the hits)
Would you go running if you saw the real me?
Maybe you'd love 'em
Yeah, maybe you'd feel me
But I'll never ask you, no that's super scary
Sorry to bail, it's already 3 o'clock
It's too hard to tell if anything's real or not
(Come on guy, I promise everything will be alright, be okay
Your eyes are tired, but keep 'em open
'Cause you wouldn't want to miss a thing)
(Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da)
Isn't this obvious, am I insane?
Let's blame our parents 'cause they taught us their ways
Stay out of politics, stay on the fence
Stay out of all of it to keep half your fans
Isn't this obvious, am I insane?
There might be two sides to everything that you say
It's all a bit cloudy but there's one thing I know
That if you're fucking racist then don't come to my show
(No, we have to do one more)
(Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da)

AJR told the following about "3 O'Clock Things" in an interview for AltPress.com of the 26th of March 2021, "We wrote it throughout 2020, but we've talked about political issues in the past, too. It's a fine line to walk, where you don't want to sound preachy because nobody wants to be preached to, but we don't want to shy away from it. It's so relevant all the time. We wrote the most political song on the album, '3 O'Clock Things', about the predicament of, 'Should I even write a political song? Should I even discuss politics with my friends? Is it worth it?' Then we ended up talking about racism."
