Anna Nalick: Breathe (2 AM)

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 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.
Woh, breathe, just breathe.

In May he turned twenty-one 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, boys.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe.
Woh, 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've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

Two A.M. and I'm still awake, writing a song.
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
Inside of me, threat'nin' the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd,
Cause these words are my diary, screamin' aloud.
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.
Woh, breathe, just breathe.

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