Really relating to these lyrics lately...
 
Been listening to this song and these words seem to help me a little.

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 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'd 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.

Just wanted to share these lyrics, I think we all can relate to them in one way or another

" This is my life, it's not what it was before All these feelings I've shared And these are my dreams That I'd never lived before Somebody shake me 'Cause I, I must be sleepin'

Now that we're here, it's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain An' all the mistakes one life contained They all finally start to go away

An' now that we're here, it's so far away An' I feel like I can face the day An' I can't forget that I'm not ashamed To be the person that I am today

These are my words That I've never said before I think I'm doin' okay And this is the smile I've never shown before Somebody shake me 'Cause I, I must be sleeping

An' now that we're here, it's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain An' all the mistakes one life contained They all finally start to go away

An' now that we're here, it's so far away An' I feel like I can face the day An' I can't forget that I'm not ashamed To be the person that I am today

I'm so afraid of waking Please don't shake me Afraid of waking Please don't shake me

Now that we're here, it's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain An' all the mistakes one life contained They all finally start to go away

An' now that we're here, it's so far away An' I feel like I can face the day An' I can't forget that I'm not ashamed To be the person that I am today"
