ANNA NALICK - BREATHE (2 AM) LYRICS

Breathe (2 Am) Lyrics

(written by: Anna Nalick)

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 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
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... Just breathe
Woah breathe... Just breathe

In May he turned 21 on the base at Ft 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
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
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
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
Yea, Sing it if you understand
And breathe... Just breathe
Woah breathe... Just breathe
Oh breathe... Just breathe
Ooh breathe... Just breathe

Hey Luna, just fyi I posted that correction, it should get changed soon.

And this song is amazing, it's great for when you're not feelin so good and/or you just need something smooth and heartfelt. That's what I used it for just last night, I was all stressed out and just really tired and this song helped me immensely.

And to whoever that person was, if you don't like the song you don't have to be so vocal about it, or at least not right along here with the rest of us who do, esp cuz you said 'we', and the rest of us wouldn't agree. Peace. ;)

i would lik to note that the second verse is wrong, its: He sat down to the flast in his fist, not he said down

Luna_ThE_Moon	23/09/2006 04:42:29

I think the first part of the song is about a teenage pregnancy and the girl decides to have an abortion, she doesn't love him and she made a mistake and the girl gets jugded walking into the abortion clinic and everyone else that is there is there for the same thing but still judging her, just a thought.

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 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
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... Just breathe
Woah breathe... Just breathe

Omg, this song is beautiful. It;s my favorite song. I heard it once on my favorite episode of Grey's Anatomy, and I thought, this song is good.Then About 2 weeks ago I heard it on the radio and fell in love with it. She has a great voice. ~Allison

This is an absolutely amazing song. I believe in living life without regrets and this song just speaks to the importance of moving past mistakes because we can't go back in time to change our choices.

britrockchic	18/02/2006 06:06:33
i hardly listen to the radio anymore...so i never know any new songs...heard this on Grey's Anatomy...fell in love. what a great song.

ive heard this song on the radio too many times..i finally found out who sang it! awesome amazing voice!

farful	08/01/2006 22:50:56
One of the few songs I've heard where I can remember the exact time and place where I first heard it. Beautiful song. The hour glass analogy to life is so true. Every grain of sand is a life experiance, some good, some bad, but every grain must be lived and cherished. That's deep, even for me. LOL.

All times are in Greenwich Mean Time.
The time is now 13:19:10.
