Lyrics
2 A.M. 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 criticise
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
Bridge:
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
Chorus:
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 awhile
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him, but maybe I'll just sing about it
(Bridge and Chorus)
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 turning around
2 A.M. 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
(Bridge and Chorus)
