I believe this song to be about one final attempt to rekindle and reconcile a relationship, he knows he needs to apologise and explain his past wrongdoings to this person but he is running out of time to do so hence buzzer beater. A buzzer-beater is a shot made in basketball just before the timer ru...
Tried to hit a buzzer beater
Before the clock ran out
A desperation shot to see if this could work somehow
There’s no packed arena standing up or cheering loud
It’s just me and all the ways I’m ready for you now
It’s a Hail Mary
I’ll bet it all
That you don’t want to see me now
But I’ll take my shot in the dark for you
We tried to give ourselves a breather
So I moved out of town
Seems like you’re a non believer
In what I’m doing now
I didn’t mean to leave you with a bad taste in your mouth
I thought that you’d be better off if I wasn’t around
That’s a Hail Mary
I’d bet it all
If you could just see me now
You’d know that it’s just as hard for me
Do you believe me
Think I must be dreaming
At least just wishful thinking
It just might all work out
As the crowd goes wild
Didn’t get a chance to see you
And I just don’t feel right
But I know it’s not my say if you don’t think it’s time
I keep coming back to what you said to me that night
You can’t just pick and choose to be a part of someone’s life
It’s a Hail Mary
I’ll bet it all
That you don’t want to see me now
But I’ll take my shot in the dark
