Narration: 
 In 1968, Foothill High vs rivals, Tustin High, are in the final seconds of the championship football game.  FHS is down by 5 and all-star Running back Zeke Cranston gets tackled and fumbles the ball a few yards short and blows the game.  Tustin Wins.  The home crowd immediately turns on their once beloved home town hero and begins to chant "Zeke- the Geek".  Humiliation takes a back seat to devastation when he realizes his leg is shattered.

Lyrics:

I came up dry
Didn’t cross the line
And I fell in front of you
And I’m out of time
Head held high
Wipe those eyes with your hands
Just get through
This won’t last forever

The crowd is yelling at me
I am not the enemy
They curse my name
I lost the game
I’ll take with moderation
It’s a new revelation
The crowd clears away
I can’t move my leg for nothing

I’m breathless gave it all for you
Don’t wanna face it
I feel hopeless, broken into two
Almost out of faith that
I’m so desperately holding to

I should probably let it go
Just get up and let you know
I’ll be fine now, I’ll heal this time around
I could take a vacation
And do some meditation
It’s no fun alone
When you don’t have a home to lay

(Oh, did I fall)
I’m breathless gave it all for you
(I’m sorry for the tragedy that I’ve caused you all)
Don’t wanna face it
I feel hopeless, broken in two
(I play for my serenity)
I’m almost out of faith
That I’m so desperately clinging to
Remember it’s just a game

I can’t get up, no cheering me up
They don’t want me up, never give up
No lifting me up, can’t get up now
Here I lay, do I hobble away
And live my life today
Without the game that I play
Here I go

I’m in the fire, I’m on the coals
It’s a long way down from the light
I’m in the fire, I’m on the coals
It’s a long way down from the light
Don't throw me away
It was only one bad play
What they don’t see
What’s coming next for me - ohhh

(Oh, did I fall)
I’m breathless I gave it all for you
(I’m sorry for the tragedy that I’ve caused you all)
Don’t wanna face it
I feel hopeless, broken in two
(I play for my serenity)
I’m almost out of faith
That I’m so desperately holding  to
Remember it’s just a game
