Lyrics
A crack from 1982 runs up my spine.
A young man drops his phone, says "Damn, it's almost five."
Heel-toe, heel-toe, a rhythm on my skin.
The kind of quiet tired before the fight begins.
[Chorus]
Oh, this good pressure, this weight I wanna hold.
A story written on me, more true than I've been told.
And I'll miss this feeling, I know when it's all done.
Standing in the shadow of a low November sun.
[Verse 2]
A little girl is scratching with a piece of busted brick.
Her mother whispers, "Soon now, honey, this is it."
The air smells metallic, like a storm is on its way.
Just another Tuesday, holding its breath for the say.
[Chorus]
Oh, this good pressure, this weight I wanna hold.
A story written on me, more true than I've been told.
And I'll miss this feeling, I know when it's all done.
Standing in the shadow of a low November sun.
[Bridge]
The gymnasium light cuts a square across my face.
The sound of the lock turning, a sudden change of pace.
(A distant school bell rings)
[Outro]
This good pressure...
A crack from 1982 runs up my spine.
