she's talking
there's a game on
   I dream for the team in white
she's talking
I hear her voice,
on some level
I'm aware of those points she's
making, but they don't end up
            in that box
            on the top left
            corner of the screen
   I dream for the team in white

she makes a threat
           or ultimatum
but I laugh because
the team in white is ahead late 
in the game, I've got that feeling
that they're gonna pull this one out
then I'm gonna call my bastard loser
friends who cheer for that other team 
taunt them mercilessly, she's saying something
about going, she stands up
            I guess to get
                                 my attention

   I dream for the team in white, say
                       please c'mon the game is on can't we talk
                       tomorrow, I hear myself say something like 
that
but my eyes are on that little box
            on the top left
            corner of the screen
counting seconds counting seconds counting
