2 Am by Thee More Shallows Lyrics

When it begins
Sound rushes in
And drowns out everything
Sideways in bed
You cover your ears
The roar is deafening

When it won't quit
You stagger up
And into the hall
But out there it's louder
It's somebody's party
You start to yell:

"Hey, buddy, hey! Hey, buddy, please
Would you quiet down? You're killing me
It's 2 AM, I'm trying to sleep!"

But the sound keeps going
'Til the walls are shaking
And no-one answers
Though you keep running around and banging the doors
And it seems strange
There's no-one home
You start to wonder
"Who's making that noise if I'm up here all alone?"
Then the pitch hits and you stop caring
'Cause what was piercing
Is now controlled
And there's no 'who' and no 'why'
And there's no conflict
You breathe it out, you let it go

You start to sing
And when you sing, the sound is gone
And when you sing, the lights come on
And then the doors all open wide
And then the whole hall staggers out and sings along
You rub your eyes
They come closer
It's a party
