2am
Booyah Riot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It′s 2Am and you show up
Acting like theres nothing wrong but you need love
I know the drink don't help too much
You′ve always needed me to tell you when you've had enough
I've always taken care of you
Yeah
But thats alright cause I got time and nothing else to do
Don′t act like you don′t have a clue
Cause you're a sight for sore eyes and I can′t keep mine off you
I can't keep mine off you
I can′t keep mine off you
I can't keep mine off you
I can′t keep mine off you
(I can't keep mine off you)
I can't keep mine off you
I can′t keep mine off you
I can′t keep mine off you
Sunday morning take a drive
Windows down, music on and the sun is bright
We felt our calling in the night
Yeah
Now I don't know where we′re going but it's right
I′ve always taken care of you
Yeah
But thats alright cause I got time and nothing else to do
Don't act like you don′t have a clue
Cause you're a sight for sore eyes and I can't keep mine off you
I can′t keep mine off you
I can′t keep mine off you
I can't keep mine off you
I can′t keep mine off you
(I can't keep mine off you)
I can′t keep mine off you
I can't keep mine off you
(I can′t keep mine off you
I can't keep mine off you
I can't keep mine off you)
I can′t keep mine off you
(I can′t keep mine off you
I can't keep mine off you)
I can′t keep mine off you




I can't keep mine off you
I can′t keep mine off you

Overall Meaning

The song "2AM" by Booyah Riot is about a person who unexpectedly shows up at the singer's doorstep late at night, seeking love and attention. The singer acknowledges that the other person is probably drunk and in need of help, but also admits to being drawn to them despite their flaws. They highlight their history together and how they have always taken care of each other. However, there seems to be a sense of uncertainty about where their relationship is headed as they settle for a moment of pleasure and forget about their worries.


The first verse starts with "It's 2 AM and you show up," indicating that the person just suddenly appeared at the door. The singer notes that the other person is pretending like nothing is wrong, but they know deep down that they need love. The line "I know the drink don't help too much" suggests that the person is probably intoxicated and not in the right state of mind. The singer has always been there to take care of them and to let them know when they've had enough. The phrase "nothing else to do" in the chorus implies that the singer is bored or lonely and is willing to spend time with the other person, despite their current condition.


The second verse talks about the next day, possibly Sunday, when the two of them take a drive together. They seem to be enjoying each other's company and the freedom that comes with driving down the road with the windows down and the music blasting. They acknowledge that they don't know where they are going, but they are content with the present moment. The lines "We felt our calling in the night" could mean that they had shared a deep connection during the night before. However, the song ends with the same chorus, indicating that their relationship is at a standstill, and they might be stuck in this cycle of temporary pleasures for a while.


Overall, the song "2AM" is a bittersweet reflection on a relationship that is simultaneously comforting and uncertain, passionate and fleeting.
