3AM
Mads Langer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll never step off the wave
Not until it crashes onto the beach
Your lovin's got me caught like a slave
Let me touch you but you're still out of reach
I'll never jump off the train
Not until it comes off the rails
I can't stop holding on to you
Oh I'm hanging by my fingernails

Ride around 3am
We're making out again
I don't mind - what we do
Long as I'm inside of you
Can't deny it anymore
Babe you're worth waiting for
We can go where you choose
Long as I'm - I'm inside of you - I'm inside of you

You say you're falling in love
Loving my eyes but I can't have a name
I don't care cause you burn in my blood
And you're only adding fuel to the flame

Can't blame you - but I blame you
You're the only one I got on my mind girl
Can't blame you - but I blame you
You're the only one I got on my mind

Ride around 3am
We're making out again
I don't mind - what we do
Long as I'm inside of you
Can't deny it anymore
Babe you're worth waiting for
We can go where you choose
Long as I'm - I'm inside of you - I'm inside of you
3-6-5 24 - Babe you're worth waiting for
We can go where you choose
Long as I'm - I'm inside of you - I'm inside of you

Can't blame you - but I blame you
You're the only one I got on my mind girl
Can't blame you - but I blame you
You're the only one I got on my mind

Ride around 3am
We're making out again
I don't mind - what we do
Long as I'm inside of you
Can't deny it anymore
Babe you're worth waiting for




We can go where you choose
Long as I'm - I'm inside of you - I'm inside of you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mads Langer's song "3AM" express a longing for a person who is out of reach. The singer is caught up in the intensity of their feelings, and is unwilling to let them go even though it feels like they are holding on by their fingernails. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to wait for the object of their affection to reciprocate their feelings, no matter how long it takes.


The chorus speaks of the physical aspect of their relationship, and how it's worth the wait. The singer is willing to be "inside of you" as long as they can, and they know that the other person is worth waiting for. There is a sense that the relationship is somewhat secretive, as the singer mentions not being allowed a name despite the intensity of their feelings.


The repeated line "Can't blame you - but I blame you" encapsulates the singer's conflicting emotions – they are both aware that the other person cannot help being the way they are, but at the same time, they cannot help feeling hurt or frustrated by the situation.


Overall, the song captures the intense feelings that can come with being in love, even when it's painful, and the singer's willingness to hold on in the face of uncertainty.
