TWO A.M. 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 CRITICISE
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
OH... BREATHE
JUST BREATHE
MAY, HE TURNED TWENTY-ONE
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 MADE
YOU'LL JUST MAKE THEM AGAIN
IF YOU ONLY TRY
TURNIN' AROUND
TWO A.M. 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... BREATHE
JUST BREATHE
OH... BREATHE
JUST BREATHE
OH... BREATHE
JUST BREATHE
OH-OH... OH-OH...
OH-OH... OH-OH...
OH-OH-OH-OH...
