Lyrics
Woke up at three with your name on my tongue Ten years of quiet, and the song's still unsung We were brothers on the road, then we weren't anymore Over a stupid word and a slammed-down door The phone's on the table, glowing in the dark And I'm dialing out the pride that left the mark Three a.m. is a good time to forgive When the world's asleep and the heart's still alive No one to impress, nothing left to prove Just an old friend's number and a chance to move Three a.m. is a good time to forgive Let it ring, let it ring, let the old wound live And heal I drove past your house in a rain last June Saw the porch light burning like a half-sung tune Almost pulled over, almost knocked on the pane Almost is the saddest word I know by name So tonight I'm pressing every button slow Let the past roll over, let the good run through Three a.m. is a good time to forgive When the world's asleep and the heart's still alive No one to impress, nothing left to prove Just an old friend's number and a chance to move Three a.m. is a good time to forgive Let it ring, let it ring, let the old wound live And heal Hello, it's me, I know it's late I've got no excuse, I've got no plate Just a long-lost hello and a hope you're well And a lot of years I'd like to tell Three a.m. is a good time to forgive When the world's asleep and the heart's still alive No one to impress, nothing left to prove Just an old friend's number and a chance to move Three a.m. is a good time to forgive Let it ring, let it ring, let the old wound live And heal Let it ring Let it ring
