One Shot

[Verse 1] Down nineteen with the whole world watching Every throat in the building tasting the goodbye The scoreboard bleeding, the clock keeps hacking At the thread we're hanging on against the sky [Pre-Chorus] Then somebody's hands stopped shaking And the floor remembered what it's for [Chorus] One shot — that's all it takes to change everything One shot — the silence right before the building screams They had us buried, they had us gone But the ball's still spinning and the lights are on One shot — and nothing will ever be the same [Verse 2] The comeback crawled on broken fingernails Every point like breathing through a closing fist Then a kid with nothing left to lose let fly And the ball hung frozen like a second sun [Pre-Chorus] And the air turned solid, held the secret Like the net already knew the sound [Chorus] One shot — that's all it takes to change everything One shot — the silence right before the building screams They had us buried, they had us gone But the ball's still spinning and the lights are on One shot — and nothing will ever be the same [Bridge] On the other bench a father's weeping In the tunnel someone punches stone The miracle and the heartbreak happened In the same breath, the same bone [Final Chorus] One shot — that's all it takes to rewrite the story One shot — between the grief and the glory They counted us dead, wrote the ending in pen But the ball went through and it all began again One shot — and nothing will ever be the same [Outro] One shot... And the ball's still in the air For everyone who was ever counted out It's still in the air
