Oh breathe, just breathe
Songwriter: Anna C Nalick
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
Whoa breathe, just breathe
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud

And breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
Oh breathe, just breathe
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
Oh breathe, just breathe
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
So cradle your head in your hands
Inside of me threatening the life it belongs to
Here in town you can tell he's been down for awhile
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
No one can find the rewind button, boys
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
And breathe, just breathe
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it
No one can find the rewind button now
"Just a Day," he said down to the flask in his fist
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
In May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
Like they have any right at all to criticize
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
If you only try turning around
So cradle your head in your hands
No one can find the rewind button, girl
And ‘cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
There's a light at each end of this tunnel
And I know that you'll use them however you want to
And breathe, just breathe
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year"
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season"
Sing it if you understand
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
