A-Game by hockey season

pushing past the pain
past the limit

out the gate
people always on their a-game
but most will change
pressure hits and we’ll see how they play
second, third-stringers
waiting on the sideline
waiting for the right time
like when i was recovering
i’ll play the game
i need something to alleviate

breath in
real slow
hold in
release

pushing past the pain
past the limit

seventh round
i see you faltering
can’t face the crowd
hey, you okay?
i can do this all day

breath in
real slow
hold in
release

pushing past the pain
past the limit
