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

And '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

In May he turned 21 on

the base at Fort Bliss

"Just a day, " he said 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 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

Oh breathe, just breathe

Oh breathe, just breathe

Oh breathe, just breathe
