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 hand
And breathe
Just breathe
Wo oh breathe
Just breathe
May he turned 21
on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today 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 hand
And breathe
Just breathe
Wo oh breathe
Just breathe
There's a light at each end
of this tunnel you'll shout
'Cause you're just as far in
as you'll ever be out
There's mistakes
you've made
You'll just make them again
If you only try turnin' around
2 am
And I'm still awake
writin' a song
If I get it all down on paper
It's no longer inside of me
Threatenin' the life
it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked
in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my
diary screamin' 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 oh breathe
Just breathe
Oh oh breathe
Just breathe
Oh oh breathe
Just breathe
