Cover art for 2 AM lyrics by Alexz Johnson

this is my favorite song from season 4.

i think that it's about a girl who's been hurt over and over by the same guy ('you kissed me into ruins') and she loves him but she doesn't want to admit it, because then it means she's just gonna get hurt even more. ('if i said i was truly over you, my heart would say amen') the bit about 2 AM in the chorus is like what it says in the show: at 2 am, you think about everything and all of your defenses go down. so when she says she's giving in to 2 AM, it means that she's giving in to her feelings for him.

and this might sound a bit morbid, but i think that the part where it goes 'now i've got all of your love letters written on my skin' - i think that it's like, whenever he hurt her, she cut herself. and those cuts reminded her of everything that he did to her.
