BREATHE (2 AM) 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,
winter just wasn't my season.
Yeah, we walk through the doors
so accusing their eyes
like they have any right at all to critizice
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 hour glass glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, girl
so cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe.
In May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day", 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.
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 a 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.

RESPIRA (2 AM) - Anna Nalick
2 de la madrugada y ella me llama
porque aún estoy despierta.
"¿Puedes ayudarme a arreglar mi último error?
No lo amo. El invierno simplemente no es mi mejor época."
Atravesamos las puertas afrontando ojos acusadores,
como si tuvieran algún derecho a criticar,
hipócritas, todos estáis aquí por el mismo motivo.
Porque no puedes salirte del camino,
somos como las cabinas de un teleférico
y la vida es como un reloj de arena pegado a la mesa
nadie puede encontrar el botón para rebobinar, niña
así que pon la cabeza entre las manos
y respira... simplemente respira.
En mayo cumplió 21 años en la base de Fort Bliss
"Un día más", le dijo a la petaca que hay en su puño.
No ha estado sobrio quizá desde octubre pasado.
Aquí en la ciudad puedes ver que ha estado un tiempo un poco deprimido
pero, Dios mío, es tan bello cuando el chico sonríe.
Quiero abrazarlo. Quizá simplemente cantaré sobre ello.
Porque no puedes salirte del camino
somos como las cabinas de un teleférico
y la vida es como un reloj de arena pegado a la mesa
nadie puede encontrar el botón para rebobinar, chicos
así que poned la cabeza entre las manos
y respirad... simplemente respirad.
Hay una luz en los dos extremos de este túnel. Gritas
porque te encuentras tan cerca de un extremo como del otro
y volverás a cometer los mismos errores que cometiste
si intentas dar la vuelta.
Las 2 de la madrugada y aún estoy despierta
escribiendo una canción.
Si la plasmo sobre el papel, ya no estará más dentro de mí,
amenazando la vida a la que pertenece.
Y siento como si estuviera desnuda frente a una multitud
pues estas palabras son mi diario, chillando
y sé que las utilizarás tal y como quieras.
Porque no podemos salirnos del camino
somos como las cabinas de un teleférico
y la vida es como un reloj de arena pegado a la mesa
nadie puede encontrar el botón para rebobinar ahora,
canta si lo entiendes
y respira... simplemente respira
woah, respira... solo respira
oh, respira... simplemente respira.
