lyrics

Lyrics
--------
There's a time of day for everything
A time to cry and a time to sing
Tunes you never knew before
Every moment that defines you comes at four
Was that the last time you cried?
Maybe this song will help you ride it out
And if you wanna see me in a different light
Pass an hour or two with me tonight

Cuz I'm acquainted with three am but was never really friends with him
There's only bad memories he brings all of the things I hate about me
All of your hands are firearms and I hear false alarms
What do you do about all these striped arms?

Story two oh it was you yeah you
The same voices in my head in theirs
Now they're gone gone gone down another road
And I miss em miss em so
But again what's it matter if we're all messed up
If we're still in the same town?
Five fingers hold, four three two one
(One, two, three, four, five)
And now it looks like we're all done

No you shouldn't have to be afraid to sleep
No neither to wake up
Don’t talk to the faces in the walls
Just tell em all to shut up!
And If I’m not mistaken
There's a bunch of paths I would've taken
A lot of laughs that I've been fakin
Do the math! You know that I've been breaking
Under the weight of the fact that I asked you for advice
I asked you twice to please be nice
Don't blame the static on a device
Don't you tell me who to be!
I am me
I am me
Don't be as cruel as the mirror when I'm still awake at three.

Cuz I'm acquainted with three am but was never really friends with him
There's only bad memories he brings all of the things I hate about me
Oh I'm acquainted with three am but was never really friends with him
There's only bad memories he brings all of the things I hate about me
All of your hands are firearms and I hear false alarms
What do you do about all these striped arms?
What do you do about all these striped arms?

(Did you know that I'm still here for you?
Stare at the walls, see them fall, going down.
Five, four, three, two, one.)
