2 AM and she calls me
'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel
my latest mistake?
I don't love him. Winter
just wasn't my season."
Yeah we walk through the
doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right
at all to criticize.
Hypocrites, you're all here
for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track,
we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass,
glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he says down to
the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since
maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell
he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful
when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe
I'll just sing about it.
'Cause you can't jump the track,
we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass,
glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each
end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as
far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made,
you'll just make them again
If you'd only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper,
it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked
in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my
diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use
them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track,
we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass,
glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
And breathe, just breathe
Whoa breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.
