We lost the ball too easily
Yellow flags we couldn't see
It's all familiar scenery
I'm staring where your seat should be
Blame it all on the chemistry,
Debate the bald guy next to me,
Complain about the referee,
Still checking your last text to me
The clock keeps ticking and the smoke keeps thickening,
The room keeps losing faith
But I'm so stubborn and I know what's coming
If we catch one lucky break
So I'll stay in the same spot, and pray for a comeback.
They say it's a long shot, I already know that.
They want me to close out. They call me a hold-out,
But I've got some hope now, so I'm gonna stand pat,
And pray that you come back
Come back
The game is back up on the screen
I'm keeping track, but secretly
Distracted by how peacefully
You handed back your keys to me
I played defense so frequently
Created distance in between
I built a fence when you needed me
I never said what you mean to me
The clock keeps ticking and the smoke keeps thickening,
The room keeps losing faith
But I'm so stubborn and I know what's coming
If we catch one lucky break
So I'll stay in the same spot, and pray for a comeback.
They say it's a long shot, I already know that.
We're down to the home stretch. We're still in a rough patch.
They tell me to face facts, but you know the way back,
So I'll pray for a comeback
Come back
I know the odds, I've seen the spread
They offer shots, help me forget
But I'll be here until the bitter end,
I'm scrolling til my phone is dead
Re-reading every word you sent
So many calls I still don't understand
And so I'll draw trick plays up in my head
But I can't shake the feeling that it's not the end
I'll flush away my heartache on some foolish bets
Until we run it back again
So I'll stay in the same spot, and pray for a comeback.
They say it's a long shot, I already know that.
It wasn't our season. We gave up the lead and,
I'm sorry for leaving, but I'm still believing
We'll land in the same spot, and we'll make a comeback,
I'm watching the game clock, I'm pushing my doubts back
Cause miracles happen, there's always a chance when
We stick as a team, even down to the last snap
So I'll drive myself back, and I'll pray for a comeback
