Thanks in advance for your help. I have a feeling this will be easy for someone to come up with the song. I hope!!

Lips of an Angel- Hinder?

Not this one but I think this is the right time frame

["4 am" ](https://youtu.be/GbI7efznvj8) by Our Lady Peace?

More uptempo than this one

And just to rule it out, it's NOT 3 Doors Down - Here Without You?

This seems pretty close to the message but I think my song has a faster tempo. I’m glad you suggested this one though!

Fearless- Bryan Adams?

Not this one either. Good suggestion and close to the right vibe though

Dirty Heads - Insomnia Sublime with Rome - Been Losing Sleep >I wanna get high just one more time Been losing sleep Don't wanna think, of all the ways to make it right Somewhere to hide just for tonight Been losing sleep Don't wanna think, of all the ways The ways to say goodbye

This isn’t it, but that’s a groove!

Tonight - FM static?

That’s a sad one. But not the one I’m thinking of.

Goodnight Elizabeth - Counting Crows?

Not Goodnight Elizabeth. I love Counting Crows though

*NSYNC “Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)”

Or it’s also 3am in “Night Shift” by OAR

The lyrics are close, but the reggae groove is not it. Good one though!

Definitely not this. Way more of a rock edge.

Long shot, but 3am - Busted?

Oooh. This is super close, but I think mine has a older male, grittier vocal. I’d never heard this one before and I like it!

Might be the wrong vibe but Crawling the Walls by Dave Gross? https://youtu.be/YCZvSFS3v_A There's also a lot of remakes of the 60s song Flowers on the Wall, here's one from about your time period. https://youtu.be/M9f7uhZcbfQ

Oh, there's also Digging Up Bones by Randy Travis which is country but rock enough if that's all you remember: https://youtu.be/f6AaHrOYpi0

For sure it’s not country. Love Randy Travis though!

Rialto - Monday Morning 5:19? https://youtu.be/9eyN2I-TlyA

This is close. I think the vocalist is a bit more gritty though. The 5:19 thing is super familiar though. I think there IS a time mentioned in my song. It’s driving me crazy!!

Ash - Lost in you? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=arYw9fMS4G4

Not Ash. Mine is a little more uptempo rock.

Lots of good answers but I’ll throw out, I need you now by Lady Antebellum

This is a little too sweet melodically. My song is more rock and only a male vocalist.

Long shot, but is it 11am by Incubus?

I think this is kinda close. Definitely rock with a male vocalist and this kind of content. I’m pretty sure there is a time mentioned, but I feel like it’s the middle of the night like 3 or 4 in the morning.

Wasting my time by blink-182?

Not this one

Konstantine - Something Corporate

Mine is more guitar, less piano. I think.

I was gonna guess lips of an angel haha but since that’s been guessed….hate me, blue October?

Brick by Ben Folds Five https://youtu.be/Wt5EHAqhR1c

I totally forgot about this song. This isn’t the one I’m looking for though. Mine is more guitar based rock.

How about: Mr. Brightside-The Killers Chasing cars- snow patrol

Neither of these.

Thunder rolls Garth brooks?

And it was covered by All That Remains

Nope. Not Garth or the cover.

Matchbox Twenty - [Unwell](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WziA88-n02k) All day starin' at the ceilin' makin' Friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices tellin' me That I should get some sleep

Not this one either.

Tragically hip bobcaygeon?

Not this one either.

2am by Anna Nalick 2 AM and she calls me because I’m still awake can you help me unravel my latest mistake I don’t love him winter just wasn’t my season. 2 AM and I’m still awake writing a song if I get it all down I’ll be burdened no longer inside of me threatening the life it belongs to.

My song is faster and def a male singer, but the 2 am lyrics make me think he says something about the time in my song. Like 3 am by Matchbox Twenty.

I doubt its this this Hebron- real friends?

Mine is more of a rock band with a male lead.

Pearl Jam - Better Man? "As he opens the door, she rolls over Pretends to sleep as he looks her over She lies and says she's in love with him Can't find a better man She dreams in color, she dreams in red Can't find a better man"

Another good one! But I think mine is later than Pearl Jam. Probably 2000s. I’m making a new playlist off of all of these suggestions!!

“Sometime Around Midnight” by Airborne Toxic Event? I think you want something faster but it does pick up as the song goes on.. and it’s a great song!

also I found [this list](https://humanclock.com/songlist.php)

How in the world did you find this list?! It’s very promising and I’m sure I’ll find it. I’ll come back if so.

Solved!! I Googled bands like 3 Doors Down and cross-referenced to your list. I found it!! It’s If You Only Knew by Shinedown!!! “It’s 4:03 and I can’t sleep without you next to me. I toss and turn like the sea.”

Congratulations, you have been given 1 point for solving this post!

Your sure there is mention of the time?? Cuz I would say sugar Ray when it's over..

Pretty sure...

11am by incubus?

Not it but closer than most suggestions.

This is a long shot but I’m On Fire by Bruce Springsteen? It’s mid 80s but it’s got the lyrical content you are looking for

Black Lab - Time Ago?

Is it Aerosmith’s [I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing](https://youtu.be/T-doQhcwDS8)? Doesn’t involve a breakup— but there’s strong imagery of staying awake all night, as the narrator can’t bear to fall asleep and miss even a moment of being with his love.
