If you only try turning around
There's a light at each end of this tunnel

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
Here in town you can tell he's been down for awhile
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
And breathe, just breathe
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
And breathe, just breathe
No one can find the rewind button, girl
"Just a Day," he said down to the flask in his fist
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
So cradle your head in your hands
In May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Oh breathe, just breathe
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Sing it if you understand
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
Oh breathe, just breathe
And breathe, just breathe

Like they have any right at all to criticize
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
So cradle your head in your hands
No one can find the rewind button now
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year"
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season"
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
And I know that you'll use them however you want to
Oh breathe, just breathe
Whoa breathe, just breathe
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And ‘cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
Inside of me threatening the life it belongs to
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
No one can find the rewind button, boys
Oh breathe, just breathe
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
