3pm

Lyrics

{Intro}
[Light piano and plucky guitar]
Woke up with potential… and now I’m just… existing.


---

{Verse 1}
[Bright acoustic guitar, light drums]
Woke up feelin’ fresh, like I might do things today—
Got my coffee, made a list, feelin' halfway on my way.
Then I looked down at my phone and saw the fatal line:
“Dentist: 3PM”… oh God, why did I pick that time?


---

{Verse 2}
[Slightly fuller drums, add bass]
Could I clean the kitchen? No, what if I lose track?
Could I start a project? No, I might not make it back.
I can't relax, can’t commit, can’t focus or be free—
Why did I make it for 3?!?


---

{Chorus}
[Big burst—drums kick, poppy piano, maybe horns]
I’m stuck in limbo, appointment purgatory,
Frozen in time like a paused documentary.
I thought I gave myself enough—
Turns out this was way too much!
Now I just sit and anxiously sway…
I just wanna get this out of the waaaaay!


---

{Verse 3}
[Back to light groove, maybe palm-muted guitar]
It's not even serious, just a check-up, no big deal—
But I’m pacing like I’m on trial, can’t eat a full meal.
I’ve stared at the clock like it's holding me hostage,
Wasted 5 hours deciding if I should do laundry!


---

{Bridge}
[Melodramatic slow build—add strings or dramatic chords]
I could’ve done it early, 9AM—bam, done!
Instead, I thought anxiety would be fun.
Now it’s looming, it’s taunting, it’s mocking my soul…
And I’m not even dressed yet—WHERE DID THE DAY GO!?


---

{Chorus 2}
[Back to full energy—drums, harmonies, chaos]
I’m trapped in this weird pre-appointment funk,
Too late for morning, too early to debunk.
Couldn’t nap, couldn’t snack, couldn’t start a single task—
I’ve just been wandering the house in socks and existential masks!


---

{Outro}
[Slow dramatic fade, solo piano or strings]
Next time I’ll know… I’ll pick 10 or maybe noon,
Before my brain becomes a haunted waiting room.
But today I suffer, dramatically and free—
Why… did I make it… for 3?!?
(WHY?!?)
2:58 !?… Gotta go.
