 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.

 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. Whoa 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

 '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 breeeeeeathe, just breathe, ohhh breeeeathe 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'll only try turnin' 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

Threatnin' 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.

 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 now

 Sing it if you understand...

 Yeah breeeeeeathe, just breathe, ohhh breeeeeathe, just breathe

 Yeah breeeeeeeathe, just breathe, ohhh breeeeeeathe, just breathe
