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
Chorus
'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 21 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
Chorus
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
Bridge
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'd only try turning around
2 AM and I'm still awake writing this 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
Chorus
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
woah breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
