3AM es una canción de Matchbox Twenty, escrita por el cantante principal Rob Thomas. Thomas ha declarado que la letra de la canción está inspirada en sus sentimientos de impotencia y agonía mientras cuidaba a su madre que luchaba contra el cáncer.
She says it's cold outside and hands me her raincoat She's always worried about things like that Well, she says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault And she only sleeps while it's raining And she screams and her voice is straining
She says baby It's 3 AM, I must be lonely And she says baby Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe it
She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all And she swears that the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams, and her voice is straining
And she says baby It's 3 AM, I must be lonely Well, heaven she says baby Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this
She believes that life isn't made up of all that she used to And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days and days She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway, yeah But outside it's stopped raining
Yeah, she says baby Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely Well, heaven she says baby Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe... thi-is Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely Well, heaven she says baby Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
