Breathe (2 AM)

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, 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 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 '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 a.m. and I'm still awake, writing a 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 Sing it if you understand And breathe, just breathe Oh, breathe, just breathe Oh, breathe, just breathe Oh, breathe, just breathe
