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
