4 AM

Woken up, it's 4 AM
And I'm unable to breathe again
My lungs have given up on me
And my throat is collapsing

I will cough the night away
I will cough all through the day
I won't stop, despite the medicine
Until 3 AM the next morning

And I know you're not asleep yet
For God's sake, it's only 4 AM
You're probably thinking about what you want to be
Despite not knowing what that means

You will think the night away
You will think all through the day
You won't sleep, despite the medicine
Until 3 AM the next morning

She's a social smoker
I'm an asthma patient
She's experimenting with not breathing
And I want out

She wants to live her life
But doesn't know how
Well neither do I
But I'm dealing with right now

She wants to move far away
But is worried she'll be out of place
And there's a look on her face
That says her heart's began to race

She says, "The way it is, makes me angry
And I don't want you to think of me badly"
But I swallow my pride and say
"You gotta do what makes you happy"

I will cough the night away
I will cough all through the day
I won't stop, despite the medicine
Until 3 AM the next morning

She's a social smoker
I'm an asthma patient
She's experimenting with not breathing
And I want out

She wants to live her life
But doesn't know how
Well neither do I
But I'm dealing with right now

I've been trying to break the ice
But I've been feeling like the Titanic
Could you meet me
Somewhere maybe between
Outgoing and tragic?

I've been trying to break the ice
