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, In 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 a while, But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him but 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, 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.
think i'm going for a walk now feel a little unsteady noone will follow me except maybe you i can make you happy if you weren't already i can do a lot of things and i do tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you too bad you had to have better half she's not really my type but i think you two are forever and i hate to say it but you're perfect together so fuck you and your untouchable face fuck you for existing in the first place and who am i that i should be vying for your touch said who am i bet you can't even tell me that much two thirty in the morning and my gas tank will be empty soon neon sign on the horizon rubbing elbows with the moon a safe haven of sleepless where the deep fryer is always on radio is counting down top 20 country songs and out on the porch the flystrip waving like a flag in the wind y'know i don't look forward to seeing you again you'll look like a photograph of yourself taken from far far away and i won't know what to do and i won't know what to say except fuck you and your untouchable face fuck you for existing in the first place and who am i that i should be vying for your touch who am i i bet you can't even tell me that much i see you and i'm so perplexed what was i thinking what will i think of next where can i hide in the back room there's a lamp that hangs over the pool table when the fan is on it swings gently side to side as a changing constellation of balls as we are playing see orion and say nothing the only thing i can think of saying is fuck you and your untoucheable face fuck you for existing in the first place and who am i that i should be vying for your touch who am i i bet you can't even tell me that much who am i i bet you can't even tell me that much said who am i somebody atleast tell me that much
sky is grey the sand is grey and the ocean is grey and i feel right at home in this stunning monochrome alone in my way i smoke and i drink and everytime i blink i have a tiny dream but as bad as i am i'm proud of the fact that i'm worse than i seem what kind of paradise am i looking for i've got everything i want still i want more maybe some tiny shiny thing will wash up on the shore you walk through my walls like a ghost on tv you penetrate me and my little pink heart is on it's little brown raft floating out to sea and what can i say but i'm wired this way and you're wired to me and what can ido but wallow in you unintentionally what kind of paradise am i looking for i've got everything i want still i want more maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore regretfully i guess i've got three simple things to say why me why this now why this way with overtones ringing undertows pulling away under a sky that is grey on sand that is grey by an ocean that's grey what kind of paradise am i looking for i've got everything i want and still i want more maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore **in the version of the song i prefer to hear she speaks at the end and i think it suits with the song quite well.... maybe it just suits with how i feel when i hear it... idk. but she says....** ((sorry i'm feeling um.... unfocused still. and the problem is meeee))
