So here I am it’s 3am
I don’t know where to begin
Time’s running out and there’s no doubt
That I feel like throwing in
The towel with no way
I can get this start finished
I try and try and wonder why
The answers never come
Guess this is it, I’m tired and sick
Of always feeling undone
I’ve tried it all but there is
Still something missing
Chorus
So I’m a day late
At least a buck short
I’ve got no chance to make this on my own
I don’t have it made
I’m nowhere near the shade
Will you step in this life and take control
Show me the way
I know that slow and steady wins the race
But slow to me cause I can’t see
Is like a lightning pace
And all I get is nowhere constantly waiting
Are you still there and do you care
About what I’m feeling now
I’d like to see what I could be
Without this holding me down
But I’m too scared of taking
This chance and failing
I’m always waiting, procrastinating
I feel so useless on my own
You’re always waiting just in time to save me
I’m not so useless, I’m not alone
So here I am, it’s 3am – no better time to begin

Behind the Song:"If I were to describe the album "We Can't Stand Sitting Down" as a whole, I would say it is a
fun ride with passionate, honest songs that deal with everyday life issues with a constant theme
of giving up control of our lives to God and realizing that He alone gives us strength.
This is a song about me in college. I was always saying, "I'll do it later" or, "I'll finish
that tomorrow" when I had papers due or I was supposed to study for tests. Too many times in
our Christian life we say the same things about going to church or telling that person about Jesus.
I was sitting in my living room late one night as the clock read 3am and basically wrote a note to
God telling Him that I can't do this on my own." - Adam Agee (
