If I Only Had 44 More Seconds

 

Come on Taylor, do work, Lets Go MULES

I love this feeling in my body

Pearl City High School against Leilehua High School

Wrestling isn’t just a sport; it my hobby

Going for 3rd Lei vs. Punahou

This tournament came with a victory and a lost.

Officials is the pregame conference before states

The best of the best is there to do everything in there might to destroy you

That Leilehua girl is UNSTOPPABLE they say

She beat Moanalua, Punahou and gave Lahainaluna their first loss of the season

It all falls down to who works harder

You might put 100% in at practice but somebody is ALWAYS working harder

Those days you gave up and couldn’t finish the move they gave thee times more

You there now, there introducing you

Remember last year you watched? Your going for 1st now

Nakia James is from…Her record is…. She placed…

Can you live up to all the things the say you can do?

You beat Kauhku before what happened?

Did she really beat you or is she better?

Wrestling was never this hard before…

You cradle everybody Taylor, come on now

Did she train harder than you … or do you just SUCK

Your never going to live past this

You will forever be remembered as the Runner-Up

For the next 9 months I can or hear and think one thing

If I only had 44 more seconds…
