2 am and i'm still awake writing this song,

cause these words are my diary screaming out loud
and i know that you'll use them however you want to.
butyou can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourgalss glued to the table.
no one can find the rewind button now,
sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe.
whoa breathe, just breathe.
oh breathe, just breathe.
oh breathe, just breathe.
