Breathe
Verse One
2 am and I call her cause I’m still awake
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
Think I love him…Where is my voice of reason?"
Yeah I look at him now so accusing his eyes
Like he has any right at all to criticize
Hypocrite. You’re accused of the very same treason.
(She tells me)
Chorus:
Perfect life is just
Another fable
And life’s like an hourglass
Glued to the table
No one can tell you
The future right now
So take a look back and go on
And breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe
Verse Two
May he slowly rise up to the top of Mt. Bliss
And leave me dreamin’ of that not present kiss
God I want him…Why can’t he put that together?
And I know he’ll surpass me in just a short while
But my God it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him…Maybe I’ll just sing about it
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
There’s a light at each end of this tunnel you know
So just keep on going, just take it slow
Cause these mistakes you’ve made, you’ll just make them again
If you only try turning around
Verse Three
2 am and I’m still awake writing this song
It’s the one thing in my life that cannot go wrong
Everything else does…This is my safe house
Each day seems to be harder than the last
But I’m trying not to think ‘bout the past
Look to the future…There’s hope out there somewhere
Repeat Chorus
