VERSE ONE
Couldn’t stop the doors from slamming,
Thunder crackled left and right
You were screaming at me, just standing there
‘TilI I ran off in the dead of night
Oh it was 2 AM
The rain attacked me just like you did, at 2 AM,
Saw the cars swerve from everywhere
Just to avoid the one out there,
Ran up to the nearest cab
Tear drops splattered down me like the rain
As I tried to push away the pain
Cause there’s nothing like you at 2AM
CHORUS
Bad things will happen at 2AM,
Gotta tell ‘em that the bruise ain’t from you
Don’t have a clue what to do.
Run, run, run away, take me far away
Your love is just like a plague
Some won’t survive at 2 AM
So scattered, don’t want to be alone
But I don’t have a choice,
Cause you’re long gone now
Baby, I’m missing what you do to me
2 AM, no running ‘round at 2 AM
Never walk alone at 2 AM,
I’m in the middle of the street at 2 AM
Crying like never before it’s 2 AM
But you’re treating me like voodoo
And you’re just leaving me kaput
There’s nothing like 2 AM
VERSE TWO
Ran out in the rain splatter street,
Took a look around, eyes brimming with tears
Heard the cry of sirens calling my name
Suddenly had to face all my worst fears
I realized it was 2 AM
It’s not just a cry anymore, a tsunami tide at 2AM
I tried to scream out
But god, I’m such a coward
Until deputy ran to me, “Did this man hurt you”
Oh no, no, told him it was all my fault
My baby is just my poison, keeps me going
Cause there’s nothing like lovin’ at 2AM
CHORUS
Bad things will happen at 2AM,
Gotta tell ‘em that the bruise ain’t from you
Don’t have a clue what to do.
Run, run, run away, take me far away
Your love is just like a plague
Some won’t survive at 2 AM
So scattered, don’t want to be alone
But I don’t have a choice,
Cause you’re long gone now
Baby, I’m missing what you do to me
2 AM, no running ‘round at 2 AM
Never walk alone at 2 AM,
I’m in the middle of the street at 2 AM
Crying like never before it’s 2 AM
But you’re treating me like voodoo
And you’re just leaving me kaput
There’s nothing like 2 AM
BRIDGE
The grey painted room matched my tears,
A black room goes with my fears, 2 AM
Red room matched the blood down my nose
Bruises like a stained liquor coat
Sirens calling my name at 2 AM
But I only have myself to blame
Cause I keep coming back for more (and more, more, more)
Cold and rainy days, dear, 2 AM
I’ve got myself to blame for the bruise
Tied up to the chair, it’s 2 AM
“Next time I won’t be late”
“He loves me I swear, there isn’t no hate”
ENDING
2 AM, no running ‘round at 2 AM
Never walk alone at 2 AM,
I’m in the middle of the street at 2 AM
Crying like never before it’s 2 AM
But you’re treating me like voodoo
And you’re just leaving me kaput
