It's 2:12 and I know

Ya-ya-ya-ya I'm all alone waiting for you

I found a place that nobody can see us

While the party keeps going, we can eat each other

This complicity between my mouth and your skin

Even if we explain it, they're not gonna understand it

When I least think of it, it comes back

Babe, I try, but I can't help it

When I least think of it, it comes back

I already know that you're not mine, but I wanna touch you

What happened was that I fell in love

With what shouldn't be, and if we let ourselves be seen

Lots of problems come

But what difference does it make?

Was it what we drank

Or was it the winter?

We used it as an excuse, to warm our bodies

There's more than enough reasons

Why I walked away

There's not a second that I don't think about you

This complicity between my mouth and your skin

Even if we explain it, they're not gonna understand it

I have you again

Let's talk about it

A perfect world

Let's invent it

Come and kiss my mouth

That the hours are so few

Come and kiss my mouth

Where your lips belong best

It sticks in my mind, I miss that pose

I didn't see her again after 2:12

Did I use the drama with that boyfriend of yours as an excuse?

Or was it that falling in love again scared me?

There's more than enough reasons

Why I walked away

There's not a second that I don't think about you

This complicity between my mouth and your skin

Even if we explain it, they're not gonna understand it

When I least think of it, it comes back

Babe, I try, but I can't help it

When I least think of it, it comes back

I already know that you're not mine, but I wanna touch you

SONG MEANING

Ever found yourself wide-awake in the small hours, replaying a stolen kiss you should probably forget? That is the electric vibe of “2:12 AM”, where Puerto Rican hit-maker Rauw Alejandro teams up with Mexican duo Latin Mafia to paint the picture of a secret rendezvous that refuses to stay in the past. The clock hits 2:12, the party is still thumping, and two people slip away to a hidden corner. They know the fling is risky—she is not exactly single, tongues will wag, and hearts might break—but the chemistry between “my mouth and your skin” is stronger than common sense.

What follows is a tug-of-war between desire and caution. Rauw keeps telling himself to move on, yet memories of that night pop up when he least expects it. Was it the alcohol, the winter cold, or pure destiny? Whatever the excuse, he cannot shake the urge to recreate a “perfect world” where time is short and their lips are exactly where they belong. The song captures that bittersweet thrill of forbidden love: intoxicating in the moment, haunting long after the clock slips past 2:12 AM.
