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

'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 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 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 hand

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 make, you'll just make them again
If you 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
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

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
Just sing it if you understand
And breathe
Just breathe
Oh, breathe
Just breathe
Oh, breathe
Just breathe
Oh, breathe
Just breathe
