Just Breathe

Take a moment, have a break, enjoy an interlude.  This is a beautiful song, let it speak to your soul the way it touches me.



Anna Nalick, "Breathe (2AM)"

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
Oh breathe
Just breathe

May, he turned 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 awhile
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

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
Sing it if you understand

And breathe
Just breathe
Woah breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe
