I really get this song; love it, every time I hear it, parts and bits of it ring so true with me, and I guess, with lots of folks. Here it is...
2 Am and she calls me cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistakeI don't love him, 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 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 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'll only try turnin' around
2Am and I'm still awake writing this songIf 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 cableAnd life's like an hourglass glued to the table,No one can find the rewind button nowSing it if you understand...
and breath
Just breathe, ohho breathe,
Just breathe......

Jenn, I read about your cat in Tammy's blog and felt I just had to write you. Don't know how old your cat is (16 or older is "old") but it sounds like she's definitely not well. If she's losing weight, that is always a very bad sign. I know this because I have had cats all my life, many at a time, in fact. If you can afford it, I'd suggest you take her to the vet for a check-up. My first dear kitty started getting thin (at 13) and she ended up having cancer. My baby only lived another 3 months after her diagnosis. Another of my babies got thin and scraggly looking and ended up having diabetes; he's still with me, thank the Lord. As a huge animal lover, I just felt I had to write and, if need be, beg you to take your cat to the doc. I know it's expensive, but it's not good to let her suffer either. Hope I don't offend you. Best wishes.

No, I am not offended in the least and love to hear from you on this matter (and any matter). I think I have subconciously known something is wrong. I'm not pretending she, our once fat and very healthy cat is now on a diet and just felt like losing weight :). I have even said to my husband, I need to take her in. Now after this big week we have, I will do just that. She's not skin and bones but definitely a thinner cat. Throws up too much. Something is not right and I too do not want her to suffer and really, it might be expensive but we need to know what is going on.
Thanks for the push!
Jenn
