It's 4am in Paris

It's 4am in Paris lyrics

Intro

Piano in the glass
Pad on my skin
Six seconds, then the truth
#Verse 1
I called you from a suite
Rain on the window frame
Your city was asleep
Mine still knew my name
I did the timezone math
Like it might save us both
But my new watch gleamed hard
And your last text froze
#Pre-Chorus
I typed, then erased
That same three-word line
My smile stayed expensive
My chest stayed behind
You were somewhere warm
I was somewhere gone
And the silence answered first
Before the ringtone's on
#Chorus
it's 4am in paris
i still know when you're awake back home
it's 4am in paris
i still know when you're awake back home
#Verse 2
Now I'm high above the street
Still low in my chest
Champagne on the table
Cold like your last request
I saw my old message
Sitting there blue and small
Read receipt left empty
Like it knew I lost it all
I said I'm doing fine
That was half a lie
You said nothing at all
And that hurt me twice
#Pre-Chorus
I watched the curtains move
Like they knew your side
My pulse kept counting hours
Where your shadow might
If I could buy one minute
I'd spend it on us
But the whole damn life I built
Turned to polished dust
#Chorus
it's 4am in paris
i still know when you're awake back home
it's 4am in paris
i still know when you're awake back home
#Bridge
Don't say I didn't want you
Don't say I chose the gold
I just got too good at leaving
When the room got cold
Now the glass reflects a stranger
In a better coat
And I miss how you used to
Know me off one note
it's 4am in paris
i still know when you're awake back home
it's 4am in paris
i still know when you're awake back home
#Outro
I leave the phone facedown
Let the city fade slow
One more unanswered text
And I already know
