Anna Nalick - Breathe(2AM)

Shamrock

5-8-12  Still feeling good!  I ran 8.5 miles today and it was great.  I felt good the entire run, no aches or pains, no feeling tired, just a pleasurable run.  Can't ask for much more than that.  I ran past a couple of golf courses today.  There are actually 6 golf courses within a 2 mile radius of where I live, so I am usually running by a golf course.  I live in Wedgewood, across Powell Road is Shamrock Golf Course.  The Zoo has a golf course called Safari, then there are the two courses at Muirfield.  They have a course for their members and then the championship course that is used for the Memorial Tournament every Memorial Day.  Just a little ways up Sawmill Road is the Kinsale Country Club.

I took the day off from work, primarily because one of my very dearest friends from my years in Ohio, lost her father this past week.  I wanted to be able to attend the mass for her Dad today without having to worry about getting back to the office.  She has been such a tremendous friend over the years and I wanted to be there for her today.  She deserves lots of goodness right now. This afternoon, I took some time for myself to run some more so that I can get closer to my goal, hopefully.  For the first time in probably years, I did not turn on my computer for work and actually took the whole day off (I did check email for work a few times on my iPhone, but still this was a breakthrough for me).  I usually take vacation days and work for at least 2-4 hours of the day before I go do something else that I had planned.

I know absolutely zilch about Anna Nalick.  This song was on my "Songs from SI" collection that my friend Tom made for me.




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 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,
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'd only try turning around.


some air is not so good to breathe

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.
