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
