2am 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,
you cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe,
woah breathe, just breathe.

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss.
Just today he sat 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,
woah 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.
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
if you only try turning around.

2am and I'm still awake, writing a song.
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
inside of me, threatening the life they belong 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.
