Breathe Lyrics - Anna Nalick

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 

And '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 

In 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 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 

Oh breathe, just breathe 

Oh breathe, just breathe 

Oh breathe, just breathe
