:: 3AM ::

This is the hour I love the most
When the world's asleep outside my door
The world's a dream I never had before
Somewhere, your eyes are closed
But here, you're just a scuff on the floor
Slide my sock over that smudge of you
And you're gone
And I'm fond
Of that spot where you once were
Mostly 'coz you're not there anymore
My bed's a whole lot nicer
Now that you can't steal the warmth

This is the hour I love the most
Tuning and retuning and retuning my guitar
It's small but strong, just like my hands are
And I hold it close
I remember you sitting on your car
Watching fireworks, strumming
For your friends
In the end
I think they gave you the keys
I think I gave you my heart
I think for now I can say
What a mistake on my part

This is the hour I loved the most
We used to stay up and talk this late
About music and movies and time and fate
But it's time spent better alone
I wonder if your indifference is as bad as hate
I really tried to understand you
But I guess
You're just a mess
And too stubborn to admit it
If you wanted my help, it was yours to take
I was there to stay

But you're nothing like I expected
Your smile's a charm you've perfected
To make me believe just what I want to believe
Well a lot has changed
In the past few days
You think I'm crazy
And I think you're to blame

This is the hour I love the most
Loneliness is such a kind host
Took my hat, took my coat
Laughed at all of my jokes
Convinced me I'm better off
Without you now
I can't help but believe it somehow

This is the hour I love the most
It's 3 AM
And I'm finally feeling good again
