Catcher's Glove (version 2)

Verse

Tuesday the rain pools on the parking lot line

Bills to pay and my shoelace broke twice

Dropped my keys while I'm running late for class

Skateboard wheels humming on cracked concrete grass

Pre-Chorus

Something in me turns when it hits the ground

I feel it rising up before it's loud

Chorus

That's how I know I'm not falling behind

Every stumble lands right, right every time

Catch myself mid-slide, dust and gravel rise

This is the beauty of a broken surprise

Verse 2

Friday the sky clears into amber light

Someone drops their phone and it falls like mine tonight

We both catch it at the same low arc

Strangers laugh together as we exchange our cards

Pre-Chorus

Something in me turns when it hits the ground

I feel it rising up before it's loud

Chorus

That's how I know I'm not falling behind

Every stumble lands right, right every time

Catch myself mid-slide, dust and gravel rise

This is the beauty of a broken surprise

Bridge

Not all falls are bad
