Play football is life reflection
There are endless parallels between life
And a game of football feel it in the bones
From the roar of the fans: that's your friends
The ones who stay when the scoreboard's blank
Clapping anyway
Kick off is your first day anywhere: new school uniform scratching
First paycheck nerves doesn't matter same buzz
Training is daily grind just like as you improve on
Your study or job carrer
Sweat in the cold do the reps nobody sees
So on match day you're the one starting
Not warming the bench or your office chair
Ninety minutes, give or take a couple for injury call it
The average human span
Stretch it to a hundred if you're lucky
Life and football overlap like twins
Life and football overlap like twins
Everything real squeezes into those ninety you sprint
For the ball the way you chase rent, promotions love score
And it's fireworks same as landing the job or the kiss
Miss an open net, and that's the interview you bombed
Or the apology you swallowed too late
Tackles hurt some clean some dirty
Like life breakups clean or vicious
Yellow card for dissent, unfair call fan's like in the real life
The people shout at you for years over nothing
Subbed early? Boss benches you
Coach benches you same sting
You learn to read a defender like you read a silent partner
Or fumble passes like you fumble words in an argument
Win the trophy and the sky opens
Lose and the bus ride home tastes like metal
Just like a job promotion or you fire
Either way, you limp off, still chasing the next whistle
Because who else will chase it for you?
Just like in a real Life
Life and football overlap like twins
