6AM Lyrics

Girl, I get tired from sleeping for long in my bed
I really need you now.
I've been trying to get back, the days that we had
But see, I don't know how.
There's no way to conceive the right plans in my head
I just can't hold them down.
All my hopes they stay curled in between these four walls
And I can't shake them out.

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe.
Our love song's on the radio,
But these words I hear they're not for me, no.

I'm tryin' to keep up, tryin' to move on
Beyond this pain, before I break.

See it's hard to confess, but I miss all the time we spent
I can't explain.
Cause when I start up the nerve to reach out to you baby
It just floats away.
Still I dream of the days when we were on the same page
I really want them now.
All my hopes they stay curled in between these four walls
And I can't shake them out.

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe.
Our love song's on the radio,
But these words I hear they're not for me, no.

x2

I'm tryin' to keep up, tryin' to move on
Beyond this pain, before I break.

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe.
Our love song's on the radio,
But these words I hear they're not for me, no.

x2

Not for me,
They're not for me, no...

Cover art for 6AM lyrics by Fitz & the Tantrums

I think that this song is a representation of a man who is broken up in his bed, who refuses to get over a past relationship. He really needs her now and drowned in his emotions, he can't sleep, and this is emphasized by "six in the morning, I'm still awake". He hears himself speaking, yet he does not mean what he is saying. He is thinking that they should still be together after all, and he misses their time together.

My Interpretation

I think it was creative to mention hearing a her love song and realizing that this is not meant from him sense they are no longer two. Great song!

@caleb11019 Almost like they were two songs really!
