"Good News", by Something Corporate.
she's trapped inside her room
with reruns on the screen
old books and movies
but she can't stop thinking
i'm torn between myself, my radio
my friends
i want to write this one off
over and over and over again
then she looked at me to scream
"my castles are falling"
and i can't look into the street
without everything changing
i wanna read good news, good news
i wanna be innocent again
i wanna read good news, good news
but nothing good is happening
she waits all day
she stands a stranger in her skin
and she moves the science with her hands
she lines the walls with every paper
she can see
these words consume her
but they never set her free
then she looked at me to scream
"my castles are falling"
and i can't look into the street
without everything changing
i wanna read good news, good news
i wanna be innocent again
i wanna read good news, good news
but nothing good is happening
nothing good is happening
but nothing good is happening
i wanna read good news, good news
i wanna be a little kid again
i wanna read good news, good news
but nothing good is happening
i wanna read good news, good news
i wanna go to sleep at night again
i wanna read good news, good news
but nothing good is happening
but nothing good is happening
but nothing good is happening.

"Breathe (2 AM)", 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
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 could find the rewind button, girl
so, cradle your head in your hands
and breathe, just breathe
whoa, breathe
just breathe
may he turn 21 on the base in fort bliss
just a day, 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
whoa, 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
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 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
'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
whoa breathe, just breathe
oh breathe, just breathe.
