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