Very nice lyrics, as I'm sure has been blogged in numerous blogs nearly a thousand times before.
Times like this, you wish you had someone to call. And life's like the hour glass glued to the table. There's no rewind button, girl...
Lyrics to Anna Malick's Breathe (2 a.m.)
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 turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just today" 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 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.

love the song. heard it first on an episode of grey's anatomy (television is the new radio. probably has been for a while now, actually.).
you might wanna check out "i found a reason" by cat power (or anything by cat power). a little raw, but that's the magic.
or another grey's anatomy favourite; "hide & seek" by imogen heap.
have you found pandora (www.pandora.com)?
I didn't like Hide and Seek actually.
But first heard Breathe outside of the radio in the movie A Lot Like Love.
And ended up wishing that I had an experience like that.
And probably realised that I did and didn't know it.
If we could turn our lives into a movie with a soundtrack, what would it be?
