2am

2 a.m., the street lights shining through my window

These thoughts again just can't seem to let 'em go

So I get up, I shuffle my way down the hall

Don't care too much, can't sleep in here anymore

I'm not awake, but I'm not sleepin'

Check the fridge for something to eat

But there's nothing there but an old empty plate

So I guess I'll just have to wait

I'll just have to wait

Turn the TV on, tryna sell me a brand new cleaning aid

But not even the two for one could help me clean this mess I made

The funny thing is I understand it

I sat back and watched it happen

I still let myself get swept away

Now I guess I'll just fade away

I'll just fade away

And the fire that you started is still burning on today

If you knew then what you know now

Would you do it all the same again?

And you're wanting a vacation

But you won't get on the plane

'Cause you've been to that place so many times

And you don't wanna go again

Sometimes the only way we ever learn

Is after we've already crashed and burned

And the fire that you started is still burning on today

If you knew then what you know now

Would you do it all the same again?

And you're wanting a vacation

But you won't get on the plane

'Cause you've been to that place too many times

And you don't wanna go again

Sometimes the only way we ever learn

Is after we've already crashed and burned

Staring at the ticking clock upon the wall, lying in my bed

2 a.m. and I'm so tired of all these thoughts running 'round my head
