Anna Nalick - Breathe (2 AM) lyrics

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 at 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 hands

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've made, you'll just make them again

If you only try turning around

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song

If I get it all down on paper, its 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

Sing it if you understand

And breathe, just breathe

Oh breathe, just breathe

Oh breathe, just breathe

Oh breathe, just breathe
