[Verse 1]
I'm home with my family
My father's havin' surgery
And I'm ashamed how I've been thinkin' more
About how maybe all of this would make
A good excuse to call you, say
"I just need emotional support," mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna hold you
It doesn't have to mean anything
I don't think that it cannot mean anything
But I still wanna hold you
I just wanna call you
It doesn't have to mean anything
I don't think that it cannot mean anything
But I still wanna call you
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's 4:30 in Toronto and I don't know where to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's 4:30 in Toronto and I don't know where to go
Home don't feel like home in a hotel room
Home don't feel like home in a hotel room
[Verse 2]
Passin' all these memories
Of all this life before you
Drivin' to the house I grew up in
But after Mom moved out
Someone knocked it down
Replaced it with a concrete piece of shit, mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
It makes me wanna hold you
It doesn't have to mean anything
I don't think that it cannot mean anything
But I still wanna hold you
I just wanna call you
It doesn't have to mean anything
I don't think that it cannot mean anything
But I still wanna call you
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's 4:30 in Toronto and I don't know where to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's 4:30 in Toronto and I don't know where to go
Home don't feel like home in a hotel room
Home don't feel like home in a hotel room
[Bridge]
I miss you still, it just feels different now
Different like the streets in my hometown
I reach for you when I get overwhelmed
I miss you still, it just feels different now, mmm
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's 4:30 in Toronto and I don't know where to go
Home don't feel like home in a hotel room
Home don't feel like home in a hotel room

“4:30 in Toronto” is about being in a place that doesn’t feel quite like home anymore, because you’re staying in a hotel room and because both of your parents live in places that are too small for you to crash with them. But I’m also thinking about a person who used to feel like home while I was the...
On an interview with The Zach Sang Show, JP said:
That’s where I first wrote the lyric “If the world was ending, you’d come over, right?”. I wrote it for this song, but it didn’t quite fit in it, and often my next song comes in a failed attempt to finishing the previous one, which I always thought...
