2:45 Am Lyrics - Elliot Smith

I'm going 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 going out now like a baby 

A naive unsatisfiable baby 

Grabbing onto whatever's around 

For the soaring high or the crushing down 

With hidden cracks that don't show 

But that, that constantly just grow 

I'm looking for the man that attacked me 

While everybody was laughing at me 

You beat it in me that part of you 

But I'm gonna split us back in two 

Tired of living in a cloud 

If you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud 

It's 2:45 in the morning 

And I'm putting myself on warning 

For waking up in an unknown place 

With a recollection you've half erased 

Looking 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 

I'm walking out on center circle 

Been pushed away and I'll never go back
