3 AM
A boy sits outside his house
Lonely with his guitar
And then he plays a melody that's so familiar
It reminds him of who we are

So hold fast to all of your hopes
And chase your dreams
With all the things that you know
Live each day like it could be your last

Because this world can be a cruel place
The more you give it seems the more you lose face
Hold on tight and things will be just fine
Whoa whoa

To the people that can hear us
Here's a message that's unwinding

Don't break hearts then try to shake hands
Cause we're living in a time of living's last chance
Let your spirit soar

Don't break hearts then try to shake hands
Cause we're living in a time of living's last chance
Let your spirit soar

Oh, Go!

Now it's half past three and I can see
The task that has been placed before me,
Don't live your life with regret
Because there will be things that you will miss

To the people that can hear us,
Here's a message that's unwinding

Don't break hearts then try to shake hands
Cause we're living in a time of living's last chance
Let your spirit soar

Don't break hearts then try to shake hands
Cause we're living in a time of living's last chance
Let your spirit soar
If you don't believe me
I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Yeah, right

4 AM
The boy can't fall asleep,
Because his actions always haunt him in his dreams
So heed his warning and don't break hearts
And don't break hearts.

Don't break hearts then try to shake hands
Cause we're living in a time of living's last chance
Let your spirit soar

    These lyrics are of the original recording, but missing a verse. After the intro (...who we are.") there is this. The first line is a complete guess. Have not found any version of this anywhere else: Demo Version: "...who we are." ?Come and watch a fox that's so promiscuous? He broke a heart in lieu of his, what is this? Now the fireflies no longer shine their light. Because he dreams of flying fiction, A princess becomes an aberration. Jesters are not made out to be nights, woah oh no! "To the people..." Album Version: "...who we are" So hold fast to all of your hopes. And chase your dreams with all that you know. Live each day like it could be your last, Cause this world can be a cruel place. The more you give, it seems, The more you lose face.(faith?) Hold on tight and things will be just fine, woah oh woah! "To the people..." And later on - Demo Version: "4 AM, the boy can't fall asleep..." Cause there's a girl that always haunts him in his dreams. "So heed his..." Album Version: "4 AM, the boy can't fall asleep..." Cause his actions always haunt him in his dreams. "So heed his..." And lastly, the remix sample on their myspace, while not complete, so far has no lyrical changes than the album version. -Monty

    Since I can't seem to edit: In the first verse, I have the album versions 2nd line wrong. It is as follows: "And chase your dreams with all the things that you know."
