Breathe (2 AM)

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

Woah breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss

Just a day, he sat 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

Woah 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

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

'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, now

Sing it if you understand

And breathe, just breathe

Woah breathe, just breathe

Oh breathe, just breathe...
