"2:45 AM" lyrics - ELLIOTT SMITH

I'm goin' out sleepwalking, where mute memories start talking
The boss that couldn't help but hurt you, and the pretty thing he made desert you
I'm goin' out like a baby, a naive unsatisfiable baby
Grabbin' onto whatever is around, for the soaring high or the crushing down

With hidden cracks that don't show but that constantly just grow

I'm lookin' for the man that attacked me while everybody was laughin' at me
You beat it in me that part of you, but I'm gonna split us back in two

Tired of livin' in a cloud. If you're gonna say shit now you do it out loud

It's 2:45 in the morning and I'm putting myself on warning
For wakin' up in an unknown place with a recollection you've half erased

Lookin' for somebody's arms to wave away past harms

I'm walking out on center circle. The both of you can just fade to black
Walking out on center circle. Been pushed away and I'll never come back
