Track: Breathe (2 AM)

These days, when I feel a little... disjointed, I will listen to this song. It's one of the Grey Anatomy's soundtracks.

ANNA NALICK
"Breathe (2 AM)"

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 criticise
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
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe...
Oh breathe, just breathe

May he turn 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
Ans 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...
Wooo breathe... just breathe...
Oh breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe


It's true. When you feel everything is too much to handle all you can do is breathe. Put your head down and breathe. Then you'll realise whatever is bogging you down, is just another test, and you'll get through it.
