So cradle your head in your hands
And I know that you'll use them however you want to

Oh breathe, just breathe
No one can find the rewind button now
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
And ‘cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
Sing it if you understand
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
If you only try turning around
There's a light at each end of this tunnel
No one can find the rewind button, boys
In May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it
Oh breathe, just breathe
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable

Here in town you can tell he's been down for awhile
Whoa breathe, just breathe
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Oh breathe, just breathe
And breathe, just breathe
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
So cradle your head in your hands
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season"
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
And breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
"Just a Day," he said down to the flask in his fist
And breathe, just breathe
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
Inside of me threatening the life it belongs to
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl
Like they have any right at all to criticize
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year"
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
