I felt darkness, in every breath that escaped me
Couldn't keep the sun from setting on this tired city
Lost and lonely, keeping time with this offbeat heart I keep
You see, there was a sadness I couldn't explain
I kept it quiet, kept it hidden away
I hoped for better days
It was 2 AM and my car could not get faster
Deep in thought, not sure what I was after
There must be a reason for the way I was losing mind to feel fine
I was thinking bout the world and where I fit
I didn't know then what it meant to just exist
To preoccupied with everything I couldn't fix
I longed for light, I found it, I found it
I felt fire die down to gleaming embers
I felt chills run up my spine,
I remember feeling trapped in a storm I could not weather
It was like my life was a show
And curtains were dropping
I was sitting in the back could not stop watching
No I couldn't help from watching
It was 2 AM and my car could not get faster
Deep in thought, not sure what I was after
There must be a reason for the way I was losing mind to feel fine
I was thinking bout the world and where I fit
I didn't know then what it meant to just exist
To preoccupied with everything I couldn't fix
I longed for light, I found it, I found it
I was a captain, my heart was an anchor falling fast beneath my sinking ship
I was a captain, my heart was an anchor falling fast beneath my sinking ship
And you were a life boat
The light of a light house that I can't believe I almost missed
Oh my god, I owe you everything
And we caught the sunrise sneak up past the horizon
Streaks of gold ran up our tangled spines
This fire raged inside
It was 2 AM and my car could not get faster
Deep in thought, not sure what I was after
There must be a reason for the way I was losing mind to feel fine
I was thinking bout the world and where I fit
I didn't know then what it meant to just exist
To preoccupied with everything I couldn't fix
I longed for light, I found it, I found it
