Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's 5 AM my time again
I've soaking up the moon, can't sleep
It's 5 AM my time again
I'm calling and you know it's me
I'm pushing myself further
I'm just trying to feel my heartbeat beat
I wrap my hands around your neck
You love it when I always squeeze
[Verse 2]
It's 5 AM, I'm high again
And you can see that I'm in pain
I've fallen into emptiness
I want you 'cause we're both insane
I'm staring into the abyss
I'm looking at myself again
I'm dozing off to R.E.M.
I'm trying not to lose my faith
[Verse 3]
And I love it when you watch me sleep
You spin me 'round so I can breathe
It's only safe for you and me
I know you won't let me OD
And if I finally die in peace
Just wrap my body in these sheets
And pour out the gasoline
It don't mean much to me
[Verse 4]
It's 5 AM, I'm nihilist
I know there's nothing after this
Obsessing over aftermaths
Apocalypse and hopelessness
The only thing I understand is zero sum of tenderness
Oh baby, please just hold me close
Make me believe there's more to live
[Verse 5]
Around, around, around, around we go
In this game called life we are not free
[Verse 6]
And I love it when you watch me sleep
You spin me 'round so I can breathe
It's only safe for you and me (Don't let me go)
I know you won't let me OD (Don't you let me go)
And if I finally die in peace (Oh, yeah)
Just wrap my body in these sheets
And pour out the gasoline
It don't mean much to me
