lyrics

They all start to run together
on a sunny day in June,
 the kids all out for blood
because there's nothing else to do.

Bones all bend, enter the ring
clothes gone unwashed for a month.
The coach doesn't lift a finger
'til he's sure they've had enough.

The boys all watch
 each other changing,
and pretend they’re not in love.
Some long to say the words,
some hope it never does come up.

If there's anything that's ever
made me think twice
about the violence in my youth.
About the hits we brace to brave
that leave the dirty cuts and bruises.

Well it's a second past the bell,
and eye to eye to still the room-
two children overwhelmed 
often both too scared to move. 

Training sets in,
you snap to senses.
Seek to touch,
harden the skin-
do you fall back on your defences,
or rely on quick reflexes?
