Drei Uhr Nachts Lyrics in English Mark Forster , LEA

Home / Lyrics Translation / Mark Forster / Drei Uhr Nachts

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Drei Uhr Nachts by Mark Forster from German to English.

It's three a.m

I call everybody I know, the

whole list of names in my phone

Is anybody still awake?

I'm alone here, three a.m

Only when I run so hard

that I have wind in my face

Only when it's packed and loud am I sure

You're the reason I stay up and don't sleep

And every one of my friends

is kinda freaked out about me right now

Only when I roll through the night

out of control through the city

after I've burned up all my strength

do you sometimes fade a little inside me

I write: I miss you

but nah, I don't send it

I ask myself, where are you?

Where are you?

It's three a.m

I call everybody I know, the

whole list of names in my phone

Is anybody still awake?

I'm alone here, three a.m

I can only think of you again

trying somehow to distract myself

and scrolling through every number

just so I won't call yours

I go out among people again

I need air in my lungs

I'm looking for the bright, the fast, the colorful

I talk so much and I'm the loudest in the circle

just 'cause I'm scared of what happens when it goes quiet

I write: I miss you

but nah, I don't send it

I ask myself, where are you?

Where are you?

It's three a.m

I call everybody I know, the

whole list of names in my phone

Is anybody still awake?

I'm alone here, three a.m

I can only think of you again

trying somehow to distract myself

and scrolling through every number

just so I won't call yours

Outro

I'm alone here, three a.m

Is anybody still awake?

I'm alone here, three a.m

SONG MEANING

Drei Uhr Nachts drops us into that woozy moment when the world is quiet but your thoughts are anything but. It is 3 a.m., the streets are empty, and Mark Forster and LEA are frantically scrolling through every name in their phones, calling everyone except the one person they truly want to hear from. The pounding beat mirrors their racing hearts as they chase bright city lights, loud music, and nonstop chatter just to drown out the silence that keeps whispering the same question: “Where are you?”

The song captures that restless cocktail of loneliness, insomnia, and post-breakup jitters. Both singers admit they would rather exhaust all their energy running through the night than face how much they still miss someone. By the end, “3 Uhr nachts” becomes an anthem for anyone who has ever tried (and failed) to distract themselves from heartache—perfect for late-night listening when you need company in the dark.
