Lyrics:

Verse 1:

She says it's cold outside and she hands me my rain coat

She's always worried bout' things like that

She says 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

Chorus

She says baby

It's 3 am and I must be lonely

Well she says baby

Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

And the rains gonna wash away, I beleive in this

Verse 2:

Well she's got a little bit of something, god it's better than nothing

In a color portrait world where she believes that she's got it all hung

She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to

She only sleeps when it's raining

And she screams, and her voice is straining

Chorus

She says baby

It's 3 am and I must be lonely

Well she says baby

Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

And the rains gonna wash away, I beleive in this

Verse 3:

She believes that life isn't made up of all that it 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 stops raining

Chorus

She says baby

It's 3 am and I must be lonely

Well she says baby

Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

And the rains gonna wash away, I beleive in this

Yeah, well it's 3 am I must be lonely (I must be lonely)

She says baby, well I can't help but scared of it all sometimes...

There it is, hope it's good. I'm gone. Thanks everybody.
