[Verse 1]
It's 2am and I've gone and lost my friends
But I can't sleep alone again
No, I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
And it's 2am again
And all these years, I've been running from my fears
But I can't sleep alone again
And all my life, I've been looking for a light
That I can't reignite again
[Chorus]
I know that it's all over when we go
When we go our way
But I hoped that we'd be stronger
Now I know, but now I know
[Verse 2]
No, I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
But I sleep alone again
And I've been here before, I was always wanting more
But I never knew when to end
I'm black and I'm blue, I was always there for you
But now you'vе gone again
No, I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
And it's 2am again
[Chorus]
Wе know that it's all over when we go
When we go our way
But I hoped that we'd be stronger
Now I know, but now I know
[Bridge]
It's the nights
When I keep you in my mind
That I hoped that I'd be fine
But I've started showing signs
Of another late night
Of another night time
Oh, I hoped that you'd be mine
It's the nights, it's the nights
When I keep you in my mind
Oh, I hoped that I'd be fine
But I've started showing signs
Of another late night
Of another night time
[Outro]
I lost myself again, I just need time to mend
Some quiet and some care, some time to repair
Would you be my guide? Take me by my side
Make me up a bed, forget the things I said
I lost myself again, I just need time to mend
Some quiet and some care, some time to repair
Make me up a bed, forget the things I said
The things I said then
At 2am, at 2am
At 2am, at 2am
2am was written by Jimmy Smith (UK) & Jack Bevan & Yannis Philippakis.
Yannis Philippakis says of the track:
“Musically ‘2am’ is one of the poppiest songs we’ve ever written. It’s about repetitive cycles of destructive behaviour, which I think lots of people can relate to, and certainly it’s an expression of something that I struggle with. There’s something cathartic...
Yannis Philippakis:
This started off more melancholic. I messed around with a keyboard during the depths of lockdown, late at night. I was missing the pub, missing the potential that a nightlife allows—the potential to make mistakes, the potential for wrong decisions, for wild decisions, for waking...
