3AM Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Winter blues in summer time
Yeah, that's not me, and that's not my vibe
Nothing but a temporary high
Holding on to what's not mine
You know that I don't know these parts
Achilles' heel, a tourist from the start
I don't know much but I do know this
[Chorus]
Now it's 3AM and you're calling me up again
And you wanna know if I meant every word that I said
You should go home, but you just got a taste of the midnight air
You should go home, go home, but you wanna come here
[Verse 2]
Man, I just need a clean break
Don't wait around for me to change
I'll do this at my own pace and separate the real from fake
I'll be a stand-by in a haze
[Chorus]
Now it's 3AM and you're calling me up again
And you wanna know if I meant every word that I said
You should go home, but you just got a taste of the midnight air
You should go home, go home, but you wanna come here
[Bridge]
I look through my contacts and I say
I hope that we're on the same page
I don't want no complications
Just make it easy for me to feel
And I don't want no complications
And just make it easy for me to feel
[Chorus]
Now it's 3AM and you're calling me up again
And you wanna know if I meant every word that I said
You should go home, but you just got a taste of the midnight air
You should go home, go home, but you wanna come here
[Outro]
Nothing but a temporary high
Nothing but a temporary high
Nothing but a temporary high
Nothing but a temporary high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

How did the song come together?
“Some of us were in a session in London. We wanted a track with real energy, feel good factor. We were listening to MGMT, Tame Impala, AM. Wanting to make a dance track with guitars as the back bone. So energy of dance music but character of rock music. It was a new challenge.”
What inspired it?
“I had this lyric ‘Now it’s 3 am & you’re calling me up again’ from another song we were working on. Re-keyed it and sang it over the music. Some people have perceived this song to be about some kind of booty call, but actually it’s about an internal battle I have between me and my subconscious....
What was the process of making the song like?
“We were in search of a bridge section for months. I remember Max walking into the residential at the studio just saying they’ve done it. Matt & Chris have remedied it. It’s done. That was a good day in the studio.”
