I don't own Code Lyoko or 2AM by Anna Nalick.
Yumi 's days seemed to have taken on a pattern. She sighed and looked at her watch. 'Ulrich's late again,' she thought. He had been late everyday this week. She was starting to get worried. He was supposed to meet her right after school by the gate to walk her home. He had promised and once again he wasn't there. She would hear it again tomorrow, the song and dance he used to avoid her.
"I promise, tomorrow, Yumi."
But tomorrow would never come.
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 reasonYumi sighed again and started homeward. She couldn't help shake the feeling that there was something more going on then Ulrich being uncomfortable about his feelings. Of course she knew about them. It was pretty obvious. She just wished that he would talk to her.
'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 breatheOpening the door she walked into the house. It was dark. 'Mom and Dad must have already gone out.' She went upstairs and put her stuff on the floor and lay on her bed. She stared up at the ceiling and debated calling him.
In May he turn 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.
She had almost dialed his number maybe ten times before she finally did. It rang about 10 times before the sounds of his voice mail recording came on.
"Hi! You've reached Ulrich's cell phone. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you. Bye!"
Yumi hung up and closed her eyes.
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 breatheShe knew that they had to talk. She sat up and went down stairs. She sat on the couch and looked out the window. She didn't know how long she sat there when her phone rang. She looked down and the display read a number that she didn't recognize so she just let it ring. After it stopped ringing, her phone beeped to let her know that she had a new message. She frowned and went to check her voice box.
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.
"Hi Yumi. It's Ulrich. I'm sorry I've been blowing you off so much… Things have just come up. Please under stand. I'm just- I'm sorry. Please, let's talk." Yumi slowly lowered the phone and realized that tears were forming in her eyes. She stood up and grabbed a jacket, heading outside.
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 toYumi walked all the way back to Kadic. She could see the light on in Ulrich and Odd's dorm. She smiled and pulled out her phone, dialing Ulrich's number. It rang and his voice mail picked up. She left only one line.
"Let's talk tomorrow."
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.
