[Verse 1:]
Two 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
[Hook:]
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourgla** glued to the table
No one can find the rewind bu*ton, girl
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
[Verse 2:]
May he turned twenty-one 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
[Hook:]
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourgla** glued to the table
No one can find the rewind bu*ton, girl
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
[Bridge:]
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'd only try turning around
[Verse 3:]
Two AM 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
[Hook:]
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourgla** glued to the table
No one can find the rewind bu*ton, girl
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
