The Von Tramps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve said these things a thousand times
But somehow I’m always out of line
Hoping you’re still listening
Cause now I’m screaming at your face
As this love we knew is erased.
Same old song and same old story
You’re all alone hoping this time I’m showing up
But we can’t go back (can’t go back)
No we can’t go back (can’t go back)
No we can’t go back (can’t go back)
Back to love
Darling won’t you see me
Your face is staring at the floor
You know you broke my heart before
Hoping you’re still listening
You say you can’t fight anymore
But you’re the one who’s keeping score
Same old song and same old story
I’m calling you at 2 in the morning
You’re all alone hoping this time I’m showing up
But we can’t go back (can’t go back)
No we can’t go back (can’t go back)
No we can’t go back (can’t go back)
Back to love
I’m strong enough to let you go
Because where this ends we already know.
Same old song and same old story
I’m calling you at 2 in the morning
You’re all alone and this time I’m not showing up
Can’t go back (can’t go back)
No we can’t go back (can’t go back)
No we can’t go back (can’t go back)
Back to love
Same old song and same old story
Callin’ you at 2 in the morning
Can’t Go Back
Can’t Go Back
Back to love
Back to love
The Von Tramps's song "2AM" tells a story of a broken relationship that is beyond repair. The lyrics illustrate the frustration of one person trying to salvage what is left of the relationship, while the other is seemingly giving up. The repeated line "same old song and same old story" speaks to the tiresome nature of trying to make things work, when in reality, it is a lost cause. The desperation is evident in lines such as "Darling can't you hear me/I've said these things a thousand times" and "Now I'm screaming at your face/As this love we knew is erased." It is clear that this relationship has run its course and both parties must accept that they "can't go back" to the way things were before.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Can't go back" and emphasizes the idea that there is no turning back to the love that once existed between them. The use of the phrase "back to love" emphasizes the idea that love is in the past and cannot be revived. The repetition of "2 in the morning" adds to the sense of desperation as it is a late hour and one person is reaching out in hopes of finding some resolution.
Overall, "2AM" tells a story of lost love and the realization that sometimes relationships cannot be saved. The lyrics convey desperation, frustration, and heartache, making it a relatable and emotional song for listeners.
