ANNA NALICK LYRICS
|
|
"Breathe (2 AM)"
|
|
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 turn 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 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
|
|
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
|
woah breathe, just breathe,
|
Oh breathe, just breathe,
|
Oh breathe, just breathe.
