AugustAfternoon

Hey

You’re listening to VCT CN

It’s a warm August afternoon

Thanks for being with us

Train ride over day is done

City lights replace the sun

Phone still glowing in my hand

Nothing went the way I planned

Summer heat across the street

Crowds are moving with the beat

One more turn one final way

I know why I came today

Find your seat

The lights go down

Rows of jerseys rows of lights

Voices rising through the night

Faces turning toward the stage

Waiting for the game to change

One whole afternoon set aside

Leaving all the noise behind

Some days don’t ask for too much

This one gives more than enough

Someone asks about the game

Someone calls a player’s name

A few words before the start

Then the screen takes every heart

When the screens are shining bright

Every face turns to the fight

Nothing perfect nothing forced

Just the reason that we came

The countdown starts

The lights come through

Rows of jerseys rows of lights

Still alive after closing time

When it’s time to head back home

The city feels a little known

Photos filling up my phone

Walking through the streets alone

Same old station different ride

Already waiting for next time

Thanks for spending the afternoon with us

Have a safe trip home

We’ll see you next match day
