Victory Road - Free Throw

Driving myself into an early grave

But that’s okay, I could use the sleep

Try not to dwell on the decisions I’ve made

I’ve fallen short, that cave is deep

I’ve tried to fill the holes in my life

With vices made of cement

Instead of patching leaks I fucked up

And turned my feet into bricks

Yesterday I had this feeling of sinking into doubt and regret

As I drifted I heard echoes of ringing

Smashed my phone check my texts

You thought that we should go get a drink

To get the weight off your chest

As low as hopes could possibly be I said, «I gladly accept.»

I haven’t gotten out of my car

I got here early, you aren’t that far

I’m walking towards the door of our favourite bar

My thoughts are swirling, why’s this so hard?

I see the headlights

Pulling in

See through your window

Your waving grin

You park your car

Normal space

I’m so fucking nervous

I’m stuck in place

I hear the door

I hear your steps

Come around the corner

Fuck I look a mess

I see your face

Where to begin?

The cutest smile

Your glowing skin

You grab my hand

You lead me in
