MATCHBOX 20


3 AM Lyrics

She said, "It's cold outside"
And she hands me a raincoat
She's always worried about things like that

She said, "It's all gonna end
And it might as well be my fault"
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams, and her voice is straining

And she says, "Baby, it's 3 a.m., 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 what I believe in"

She's got a little bit of something
God, it's better than nothing
And in the colour of portrait world
She thinks that she's got it all

And she swears that the moon
Don't hang quiet 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 a.m., 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 what I believe in"

She believes that life isn't made up
Of all that she used to
And the clock on the wall
Has been stuck at 3 for days and days

She thinks that happiness
Is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside it's stopped raining

And she says, "Baby, it's 3 a.m., 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 what I believe in"

Well, it's 3 a.m., I must be lonely
And Heaven she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes"

The words to the song are mine I wrote it with a friend who sold songs to bands at the time mb20 were looking for a song at the time .. The words are about what I was going through at the time. The line she drinks to happiness as a mat that sits in her doorway is a sudonym for my name.. Mb20 made it their own and dedicated to his mother.. However the words have a very different meaning to what mb20 used them for.. I was in my early 20s a single mum and was lonely and depressed at the time

His mother had cancer when he was 12-13 years old. He wrote the song years later as a reflection of the experience. (As told on the Rachel Ray show 2010)
