4am

1999

Four o’clock in the morning and my bed is cold tonight

I need another cup of coffee, ‘cause I can’t get you off my mind

All I do is think about you and the way that it should be

And though I know she needs you there at home

You should be lying next to me

Baby don’t you leave me know

I know we could work this whole thing out

And I know you feel the same, so I’m begging you

Baby don’t you leave

The sun is almost rising, but this barstool’s my best friend

It’s completely non-judgmental as to how this all should end

I’m not afraid of confrontation, and I know what we’re doing’s wrong

It’s getting hard to tell what’s real or just in my head

Please stop stringing me along

Baby don’t you leave me know

I know we could work this whole thing out

And I know you feel the same, so I’m begging you

Baby don’t you leave

Four o’clock in the morning and my bed is cold tonight

I need another gin and tonic, cause I can’t get you off my mind

Young and stupid. I think that is the best way to describe this song. There was this man I was absolutely crazy about, but he had a girlfriend. While the friendship never developed into anything more than that, my imagination sure did enjoy running wild. He knew I was interested and he enjoyed toying with that idea and some what stringing me along. One night after a show I sat at the bar real late sipping a Gin and Tonic and wrote the lyrics for this song on a napkin. A few months later the music was written. I played it for a band member who was curious and we ended up performing it. One of the bar tenders always requested it. While I have never felt that this is one of my stronger or more meaningful songs, it was nice to know that people wanted to hear it.
