lyrics

2 AM on a Tuesday morning
Or rather I’d say a Monday night
I’m walking home in the pouring rain
The steamy droplets obscure my sight
I’m walking fast singing old-time show-tunes
I leave the comfort of the umbrella
I pat myself on the back for my cowardice
I stayed the same; too unnerved to tell her

I’m sensible enough to reintroduce my fear
I’ve done enough to mess this up already, but
My heart is shouting, “Hey, you can’t give up that easy”
But when I try to speak, my mind won’t let me

Writing songs in the stone-cold basement
Songs that may never reach her ears
If she heard them, my intentions would come through
But they’d bring with them my darkest fears
Notes that she’ll never truly savor
The way I feel when I let them out
An unaffectionate hug or handshake
For all my pent up longing and doubt

I’m sensible enough to reintroduce my fear
I’ve done enough to mess this up already, but
My heart is shouting, “Hey, you can’t give up that easy”
But when I try to speak, my mind won’t let me

And I don’t know what to do
We’ll only both end up hurt this way
I don’t know what I mean to you
And I don’t know what to say
2 AM on a Tuesday morning
Still feels like a Monday night
I made it home from the pouring rain
But now you’re stuck in my mind

I’m sensible enough to reintroduce my fear
I’ve done enough to mess this up already, but
My heart is shouting, “Hey, you can’t give up that easy”
But when I try to speak, my mind won’t let me
