Finally, an Uncorrupted Copy

That's one of the main problems w/downloading music... I spent about a week, downloading & downloading, to get an uncorrupted copy of Anna Nalick's 'Breathe (2am)'. It's a fitting song. Rob says she's not old enough to be singing these words, but I know from personal experience that one can end up w/a lot of life in a few short years. I didn't really like the song much when I first started hearing it, but after watching the video at 4am over a few long nights of the soul, it's grown on me considerably.

Talked to Jody last night. Miranda's recovered nicely & is heading back to work soon, Jamie's getting ready to move in w/a friend of hers in a bigger apartment. Jody's enjoying the whole grandmother experience except that her grandson never sleeps, at least not that she's personally witnessed. I'm like, 'Yeah, I'll come see him in a few years, after he's done w/diapers & randomly screaming his head off for no apparent reason'.

Breathe (2am) by Anna Nalick

2 Am and she calls me cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake
I don't love him and winter just wasn't my season.
Yea 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 just cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

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

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

There's a light at the 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 turnin' 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.

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...yeah breathe
Just breathe, ohho breathe
