2 A.M. Lyrics by Iron Maiden

The X Factor

1995

[Verse 1]
I get in from work at 2:00 AM
And sit down with a beer
Turn on late-night TV
And then I wonder why I am here
It's meaningless and trivial
And it washes over me
And once again, I wonder:
"Is this all there is for me?"
[Chorus]
Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own
[Verse 2]
Life seems so pathetic
I wish I could leave it all behind
This canvas chair, this bed
These walls that fall in on my mind
Hold on for something better
That just drags you through the dirt
Do you just let go or carry on
And try to take the hurt?
[Chorus]
Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own
[Chorus]
Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own
[Outro]
Alone again
Alone again
I'm here on my own
