Breathe (2 A.M.)

i absolutely love this song!! the lryics are so great when you really listen to them... and i agree with everyone that said the tune is great!! heres what i basicly think that the song means - - >>

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.

Her friend calls her because she's having trouble with a guy. They go somewhere (maybe a hospital or physiologist’s office) where everyone is judging them for being there. when in reality, these people need the same help that they do.

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 just cradle your head in your hands. And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

Here she’s saying that everyone is basically stuck in their life. Everyone is forced to move forward (the cars on the cable) and they can’t go back in time or change anything about time (hourglass glued to the table). You can’t go back and do anything different, so you need to except that and move onto the next thing

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss Just today he sat 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 while But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles Wanna hold him but maybe I'll just sing about it

This is pretty self-explanatory. Theres a man in the army that has a drinking problem. when she says “he sat down to the flask in his fist” I think that he is trying to get rid of his drinking problem. He’s been down when he’s trying to get over it, but he soon will be ok (so beautiful when the boy smiles). She finds something inspiring in him but it too scared to say anything 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, whoa breath just breathe

(same as last time)

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'll only try turnin' around

This is my favorite part of the song …. It’s saying that no matter how far deep into your problems you are, you can always get out of them. (theres a light at each end of this tunnel) but the only way that you can get out of the problems, is to change the reason you got into them in the first place (you’ll just make them again if you only try turning around)

2Am and I'm still awake writing this song If i get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threaten' the life it belongs to. And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary screamin' out aloud And I know that you'll use them however you want to.

This needs to be my second favorite part. She’s up writing this song, because once she writes it down, she won’t hold the grudge anymore and it won’t be eating her up inside. She feels very vulnerable because she is puttin her feelings on the table and she doesn’t know how people will take them
