Lyrics: 
 
Verse 1: 
 
She says it's cold outside and she hands me my rain coat 
She's always worried bout' things like that 
She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault 
And she only sleeps when it's raining 
And she screams, and her voice is straining 
 
Chorus 
 
She says baby 
It's 3 am and I must be lonely 
Well she says baby 
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes 
And the rains gonna wash away, I beleive in this 
 
Verse 2:  
 
Well she's got a little bit of something, god it's better than nothing 
In a color portrait world where she believes that she's got it all hung 
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to 
She only sleeps when it's raining 
And she screams, and her voice is straining 
 
Chorus 
 
She says baby 
It's 3 am and I must be lonely 
Well she says baby 
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes 
And the rains gonna wash away, I beleive in this 
 
Verse 3:  
 
She believes that life isn't made up of all that it used to 
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days 
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway 
But outside, it stops raining 
 
Chorus 
She says baby 
It's 3 am and I must be lonely 
Well she says baby 
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes 
And the rains gonna wash away, I beleive in this 
 
Yeah, well it's 3 am I must be lonely (I must be lonely) 
She says baby, well I can't help but scared of it all sometimes...
