leap leap

jump jump

let the past be past

jump jump

the slam behind

is the closet for the nines

fines build

lines fluid

jump jump

the rope

jump jump

the broom

jump higher

higher flyer

on a billboard

off the closest exit

in the old closet

jump jump

the old days

playoff game

we lost.

we were barely playing,

showed up late

cussed each other out

finished strong

too not show up when it mattered most;

it’s not all you

i know the ball could have been better

not perfect, just better

we were never perfect

just humans

showing up each game

playing for our lives
