3 AM in Rio
The city's still awake
And somehow
I'm still thinking about you

Copacabana glowing underneath the Moon
Motorbikes screaming like they always do
Salt on my skin, your ghost in my room
I came here to forget, but I remembered you

Red lights dancing over Avenida
Warm wind moving through the palm trees
Everybody's kissing somebody tonight
But I'm alone with your memory

I could call you
But I know I shouldn't
I could leave
But I know I wouldn't

There's something about this city
That makes the lonely feel alive
Maybe it's the ocean
Maybe it's the heat
Maybe it's the fact that you're still on my mind

It's 3 AM in Rio
And I don't wanna go home
The whole city's burning gold
But I'm still feeling cold
It's 3 AM in Rio
Your name is on my phone
I could lose myself tonight
But I can't lose what we were

Oh-oh, Rio
Keep me awake until the morning light
Oh-oh, Rio
Maybe I'll forget you by sunrise

I got strangers dancing barefoot in the street
Drums coming from somewhere underneath my feet
A taxi driver singing to the radio
And every song somehow sounds like you

I taste caipirinha on somebody's lips
Feel the ocean spray against my fingertips
There's a thousand ways to disappear tonight
But every road somehow leads me back to your eyes

Maybe I'm addicted to the pain
Maybe I just miss your name
Maybe this city's teaching me
That some things don't get washed away by the sea

There's something about this city
That makes the lonely feel alive
Maybe it's the ocean
Maybe it's the heat
Maybe it's the fact that you're still on my mind

It's 3 AM in Rio
And I don't wanna go home
The whole city's burning gold
But I'm still feeling cold
It's 3 AM in Rio
Your name is on my phone
I could lose myself tonight
But I can't lose what we were

Oh-oh, Rio
Keep me awake until the morning light
Oh-oh, Rio
Maybe I'll forget you by sunrise

Rio, Rio
I hear your heartbeat in the street
Rio, Rio
There's something broken underneath

Rio, Rio
Let the ocean carry me
If I can't have you tomorrow
Give me tonight to breathe

I walked from Ipanema to the water
Barefoot with my memories in my hands
The Moon was hanging over the mountains
Like it knew exactly who I am

I whispered your name into the ocean
Watched the waves erase it from the sand
For one second I thought I was free
Then the tide brought it back again

Three in the morning
No sleep
No answers
Just neon
Salt water
And your memory

Maybe tomorrow I'll be different
Maybe tomorrow I'll let you go
But tonight

It's 3 AM in Rio
And I don't wanna go home
The whole city's burning gold
But I'm still feeling cold
It's 3 AM in Rio
Your name is on my phone
I could lose myself tonight
But I can't lose what we were

Oh-oh, Rio
Keep me awake until the morning light
Oh-oh, Rio
Maybe I'll forget you by sunrise

The Sun is coming up
The ocean is turning blue
Rio is waking up
And I'm still here
Thinking about you

3 AM in Rio
4 AM in Rio
5 AM

Still you
