3AM IN THE HILLS
Dashee
[Intro – engine hum, faint R&B vocal sample]
Yeah…
I shouldn’t be driving this fast.
But I gotta clear my head.
[Verse 1]
3AM, I’m in the hills
Mascara dry but I know how it feels
Argued again, said what I said
Now your voice looping in my head
Streetlights blur through tinted glass
Foot on the gas like I’m outrunning past
Phone face down in the passenger seat
But I still wanna see if you text me
You said I’m hard, I said you cold
We both defensive, that’s getting old
Love ain’t weak but it ain’t that strong
If every fight feel like goodbye songs
Wind in my hair through open roof
Telling myself I’m done with you
But every turn I make tonight
Feel like I’m circling back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Why we always push it too far?
Say we leaving, don’t get far
Pride high like these hills we on
But our hearts still holding on
[Hook]
3AM in the hills
Trying to outrun how it feels
Headlights chasing my tears
But I still want you here
3AM in the hills
Saying I’m done for real
But if you call, I will
Turn this car around still
[Verse 2]
You love when I act unbothered
Hate when I move unguarded
Truth is I’m scared of falling
So I talk tough when I’m bothered
You say I don’t listen
I say you don’t get it
We both tired of fixing
But don’t wanna end it
I remember when we first linked
Late night talks, no overthink
Now it’s tension in everything
Love feel heavy on a diamond ring
Girls say “sis, you deserve more”
But more don’t feel like before
You was safe, you was sure
Now we standing at a closed door
[Pre-Chorus]
Why we always push it too far?
Say we leaving, don’t get far
Pride high like these hills we on
But our hearts still holding on
[Hook]
3AM in the hills
Trying to outrun how it feels
Headlights chasing my tears
But I still want you here
3AM in the hills
Saying I’m done for real
But if you call, I will
Turn this car around still
[Bridge – stripped down, heartbeat 808]
If I spin this wheel back
Would you meet me halfway?
If I soften my tone
Would you finally stay?
Is it love or ego?
Is it pain we don’t show?
Are we scared to let go?
Or scared to grow?
[Final Hook – layered, emotional]
3AM in the hills
I’m fighting how it feels
City quiet but I hear
Everything we built
3AM in the hills
Saying I’m done for real
But if you call, I will
Turn this car around still
[Outro – engine fades]
Yeah…
Why love always hit hardest
When the city asleep?
