Breathe

Driving home from the gym tonight, slightly in a daze, and these lyrics really pulled me in. Particularly this line "But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles" Boy, does that strike a chord. The song is by Anna Nalick - a 20 year old singer-songwriter. The best way to find lyrics on the internet - type a single line of the lyrics into google - don't type the name of the song or the artist. Google will find the actual lyrics rather than send you to all sorts of marketing sites if it has some of the lyrics to search with.

Breathe (2 AM)

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 critisize,
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 you hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at 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 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,
Woah breathe, just breahte

There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
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, its no longer
inside of me, threatening the life they belong 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

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 now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
oh breathe, just breathe.

I love this song and listen to it often...so gald to hear from you, glad things are going well. I have not been inspired too much lately either. But sounds like you are doing well and enjoying spring!

[Barb]

Love the song. Isn't it good that spring has arrived and we can get back to routine.

[Tonya]

Isn't this song wonderful? I kept hearing it on the radio and they'd never say who it was singing it. After a fair amount of (frustrating) research on the internet, I finally learned who she was. I've listened to some samples from her upcoming CD and I'm very impressed. She makes me think of a combination of Alanis Moressette and Fiona Apple.

[Margaret]

I remember reading about this song on tonya's blog. I will have to give it a listen!

[Anna]

I really like this song. That one line just sounds so tragic, yet beautiful as well. I love it.

[linda]

what a beautiful song...it is incredible to me that such a young woman totally figured out the meaning of life..

[Dawn]

Um... hi. I had just heard this song on the radio and that same line chilled me. I came home and wanted to find out who it was by and what not, so I typed in the line "But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles" along with the name, but nothing came up except a bunch of random sites and then this page. Not too sure what this page is, a journal or something, but I wanted to say thank you all the same. This has been on my mind for so long now and it was so convenient that you had all the words and everything all together and... well, yeah, thanks I guess. I guess I know to use Google from now on instead of aol. Sorry to bother you.

You are my savior! I have been searching for this song all afternoon to find the title so i could put it on my iPod! I typed in one line and it brought my to this sight and i found out who sang it and the title. My friend was sure it was Avril Lavigne, so i have been searching her lyrics all afternoon. Thanks so much, and I love the song too.

[Julia]

I love this song too!!! it helps me relax when something really goes wrong. It is really pretty and the words fit just right.

[Mike]

I think this is a beautiful song too. Just like many others, I typed the words "it is so beautiful when the boy smiles"... why is it that that single sentence gets us all in a weird way?
anyway, I was searching for this song yesterday, but I coulnt' find it since I thought it was Avil Lavigne singing. I am glad I did now. Thanks for this site!

[Kelly]

Thank you so much! i was wondering all morning who sang that song so i could put it on my iTunes. It's such a great song and that same line all of you have talked about "and my god it's so beautiful when the boy smiles" i typed in too! its so weird yet amazing how we all typed in the same line, the one we keep hearing over and over in our heads. thanks once again!

This song is just great.I just spent 18mo at the base of fort bliss.i had the same drunk experiance there it got me away from my problem for awhile

[Jennifer]

Same here (what with typing in the lyrics). But I was just trying to make sure I had the title right. Turns out it 'is' Breathe.

There's just something so wonderfully deep about that line. I'm sure on several occasions I claimed it to be my all time favorite lyric. And I'd certainly say the same, now.

[Taylor]

I absolutely love this song. It holds so much meaning, so much intensity...it really has inspired me.

[Hermalinda]

Thanks so much for helping me find this song. I was searching on the internet for two days now and I finally got to this web site! The song is wonderful! It pulls on those heart strings we all have.

[mstevens]

Hi, thank for posting. Great lyrics for her age. "Its so beautiful when the boy smiles" really jumps out of the song. I think first because her voice changes significantly and within a sort of bitter song you have a moment of beauty and we all picture someone we know smiling despite life's problems. That's what makes us all great is the ability to persevere and find humor and turn things around. Not quite cars on a cable but more like steamliners...not as poetic~
