Football Games Lyrics

Going through old photos means

Scrolling to the tops of our screens

And clicking on an album labeled "'09 Football Games"

Tiger stripes, our claim to fame

Nostalgia shows up differently

No more overflowing boxes means

We hold our whole world in our hands

But we still braid our hair before we sleep

While we pray our fears don't infiltrate our dreams

If only for a moment

Only for a moment

Little voices call us back

To a world under attack

It always was meant to be finite

Wide eyed, chasing fireflies

Nostalgia shows up on its knees

Clawing at the walls of our reality

Let it break the skin, win the sprint

To the front of our minds

But we still braid our hair before we sleep

While we pray our fears don't infiltrate our dreams

Begging the night to let us breathe

If only for a moment

Only for a moment

Never let the moonlight go

Fight the sun to never show

But let's hope the dark's not too dark

The thought of death will tear us apart

But we still braid our hair before we sleep
