4am (reimagined)

[Verse 1]

I've 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

And you will think the night away

And you will think all through the day

You won't sleep, despite the medicine

Until 3 AM the next morning

[Chorus]

She's a social smoker, I'm an asthma patient

She's experimenting with not breathing and I want out

Shе wants to live her life, but doеsn't know how

Well, neither do I, but I'm just dealing with it right now

[Verse 3]

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 beginning to race

[Verse 4]

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 I say

"You've gotta do what makes you happy"

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 just dealing with it right now

[Bridge]

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

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 (She's a social smoker)

But I've been feeling like the Titanic (I'm an asthma patient)

Could you meet me somewhere maybe between (She's experimenting with not breathing)

Outgoing and tragic? (And I want out)

I've been trying to break the ice (She wants to live her life but)

But I've been feeling like the Titanic (Doesn't know how)

Could you meet me somewhere maybe? (Well, neither do I, but I'm just)

Could you meet me somewhere maybe? (Dealing with it right now)

[Chorus]

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 just dealing with it right now
