"4AM" lyrics

"4AM"

I've woken up, it's 4AM
And I'm unable to breathe again
My lungs have given up on me
And my throat is collapsing

I will cough the night away
I will cough all through the day
I won't stop, despite the medicine
Until 3AM the next morning

And I know you're not asleep yet
For God's sake, it's only 4AM
You're probably thinking about what you want to be
Despite not knowing what that means

And you will think the night away
And you will think all through the day
You won't sleep, despite the medicine
Until 3AM the next morning

She's a social smoker, I'm an asthma patient
She's experimenting with not breathing and I want out
She wants to live her life, but doesn't know how
Well, neither do I, but I'm dealing with it right now

She wants to move far away
But is worried she'll be out of place
And there's a look on her face
That says her heart's beginning to race

She says, "The way it is makes me angry
And I don't want you to think of me badly"
But I swallow my pride and I say
"You gotta do what makes you happy"

I will cough the night away
I will cough all through the day
I won't stop, despite the medicine
Until 3AM the next morning

She's a social smoker, I'm an asthma patient
She's experimenting with not breathing and I want out
She wants to live her life, but doesn't know how
Well, neither do I, but I'm dealing with it right now

I've been trying to break the ice
But I'm feeling like the Titanic
Could you meet me somewhere maybe
Between outgoing and tragic?

I've been trying to break the ice
But I'm feeling like the Titanic
Could you meet me somewhere maybe
Between outgoing and tragic?

I've been trying to break the ice
(She's a social smoker)
But I'm feeling like the Titanic
(I'm an asthma patient)
Could you meet me
(She's experimenting with not breathing)
Somewhere maybe between
(And I want out)
Outgoing and tragic?

She's a social smoker, I'm an asthma patient
She's experimenting with not breathing and I want out
She wants to live her life, but doesn't know how
Well, neither do I, but I'm dealing with it right now
