this is 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 door so accusing their eye
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 is 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
In May he turn 21 on the base of fort bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of the 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 is 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
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 make, 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 of 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 outloud
And I know you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life is like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe
oh breathe, just breathe
