Breathe (2AM) - Anna Nalick

2 am and she calls me cause I'm still awake
'Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him and 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.

Cos 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 just cradle your head in your hands.

And breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

May he turned 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 last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for while
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him but maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cos 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 cos you're just as far in
As you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again,
If you'll only try turnin' around

2Am and I'm still awake writing this song
If I get it all down on paper
It's no longer inside of me
Threaten' the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cos 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...
Yeah breathe, just breathe, oh breathe
