Robin West - 3 AM

3 AM
Throw the oars back down
Spitting blood on the ocean floor
With splinters screaming in my fists
In a voice I can't ignore
Yeah

Awake again
Hear the sirens call
Hit the shore 'til I break down
Remember when the fault was always mine
If I dreamed but I still drowned

So I turn into the blue
Find, unexpected, you
So I take my heart and make it new
Can't say why - I just do

It's 3 AM
Coyotes howl from the graveyard beside your house
I'm awake again
Chasing words around the corners of my mouth

And there's thunder in your eyes
And I know your hand in mine
You open my ribcage wide
But I don't mind

'Cause I'm caught up on my ragged bones
But you want me the way I'm wired
And I know you'd carry me down
To the water if I catch on fire
I guess I always thought
I was a wreck and a lightning strike
A blinding light
But this time I got it right
This time I got it right
