Breathe (2 AM)

2AM 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
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, boy
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe
Ooh, 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

2AM 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
Ooh breathe, just breathe
Ooh breathe, just breathe
Ooh breathe, just breathe
