Basketball at midnight by the docks The harbor lights, the shot clock winding I am standing at the free throw line And no one can see me Far off in the distance I hear yacht rock Something from a soundtrack in the 80s Oh those Simple Minds, simpler times It makes me wish for lives like these I am undefeated but there's no one clapping Except the waves And it's clear from their reflection That they're laughing at me But a sense of you is here with me Contemplating all things end eventually As it should be Soundtrack memory Nostalgia gets the worst of me Knowing begrudgingly There is no permanent eternity That even this memory Will spread like ash and wash out to sea Moths encircle floodlights Hope is never lost Ten free throws made at midnight All pretty in a row Moth tires of chasing light Take your ball and wander home Soundtrack memory Nostalgia gets the best of me Searchlights underneath The body swims voraciously Taking every breath Deliberately and graciously Taking every breath Deliberately and graciously
