4am from Connections (2015) by Shannon Curtis

will we meet again tonight at 4am?
when I'm pulled the deepest in
shallow breath, air thin
chipped tooth, gold ring
if I had known what a delicate thing
would it have been any different?

face to face on a stage
before god and everyone
they all get up and leave
'cause this isn't a very good show
I tell you I'm happy, the best I've ever known

but I wanna know if you are too
I wanna know that you are, too

there won't be a long goodbye
I cry an unindulgent cry
gold ring, chipped teeth
quick breath, the air is thin
will we meet again at 4am

grabbing the tail of something whizzing by
and then the light turns off the night
and you're gone again, but wait
just tell me you're okay
with that smile I know like film exposed
on my brain
burned in forever, burned in forever

will we meet again tonight at 4am?
