Hail Mary

It all went quiet, like no one sitting in that crowd No place for hiding the voices in my head so loud I saw that blue sky, I saw that timer running down Right then I knew, I knew that I had no time for doubt

And if there's one thing that I learned From playing odds and playing ball It's that sometimes you gotta wind it back Let go and risk it all

'Cause I've tried my best, and I've done my time Oh, I've held my breath 'til my lungs caught fire Need it off my chest 'fore I'm good and gone and buried Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary

I messed it all up, and she went west and I went south I let that goodbye leave way too easy out my mouth And I tried to fight it, that voice that said, "Boy, she's the one" 'Til that July when I got the nerve to call her up

'Cause if there's one thing that I learned From every day since she got packed It's that sometimes you gotta take the shot Let go and don't look back

'Cause I've tried my best, and I've done my time Oh, I've held my breath 'til my lungs caught fire Need it off my chest 'fore I'm good and gone and buried Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary Oh, I'm on my knees with my hands up high Praying, "Please, oh, please," 'til my blood runs dry Trying to say my peace, 'fore I'm good and gone and buried Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary

(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary) (Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary) (Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary) (Hail Mary, Hail Mary)

I gave it all up for a different city street My glass half empty turned into a different dream 'Cause I'm not chasing a life that isn't meant for me Oh, I'm not chasing a life that isn't meant for me

'Cause I've tried my best, and I've done my time Oh, I've held my breath 'til my lungs caught fire Need it off my chest 'fore I'm good and gone and buried Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary Oh, I'm on my knees with my hands up high Praying, "Please, oh, please," 'til my blood runs dry Trying to say my peace, 'fore I'm good and gone and buried Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary

(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary) (Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary) yeah (Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary) yeah (Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
