Verse
Three in the morning, ceiling's white
Curtains flutter like they're breathing tonight
Your hair's a halo in the amber glow of the streetlight
I'm tracing your collarbone with the flat of my hand
You lean in and whisper 'let it stay
The whole room sways to whatever we need right now
Pre-Chorus
So don't look at the clock, just look me in the eyes
Tell me you're staying till morning sun rise
Say we'll hold this night like a fragile egg
Don't let the dark get the best of us yet
Chorus
Hold the 2 a.m.
Keep the light on
Hold the 2 a.m.
Let it stay
Hold the 2 a.m.
So we don't lose the way
Breathe in slow, like the room is still
Don't let the dark get the best of us yet
Hold the 2 a.m.
Keep it here
Verse
Your pulse beats in time with the humming fridge
Your fingers lace into mine, an anchor against the dark
The whole block's quiet except for the distant bass
I press my palm against your neck and keep you from drifting away
Pre-Chorus
So don't look at the clock, just look me in the eyes
Tell me you're staying till morning sun rise
Say we'll hold this night like a fragile egg
Don't let the dark get the best of us yet
Chorus
Hold the 2 a.m.
Keep the light on
Hold the 2 a.m.
Let it stay
Hold the 2 a.m.
So we don't lose the way
Breathe in slow, like the room is still
Don't let the dark get the best of us yet
Hold the 2 a.m.
Keep it here
Bridge
Maybe tonight's not the end
Maybe it's just the beginning
And every second we keep the light
Is one more reason to let go of the fear
Chorus
Hold the 2 a.m.
Keep the light on
Hold the 2 a.m.
Let it stay
Hold the 2 a.m.
So we don't lose the way
Breathe in slow, like the room is still
Don't let the dark get the best of us yet
Hold the 2 a.m.
Keep it here
