Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a contact team sport played between two teams using a small rubber ball (62.8–64.77 mm (2.472–2.550 in), 140–147 g (4.9–5.2 oz)) and a long-handled stick called a crosse or lacrosse stick. It is often considered as a rough sport. The head of the lacrosse stick is strung with loose mesh designed to catch and hold the lacrosse ball. Offensively, the objective of the game is to score by shooting the ball into an opponent's goal past the goalie, using the lacrosse stick to catch, cradle, and pass the ball to do so. Defensively, the objective is to keep the other team from scoring and to gain the ball through the use of stick checking and body contact or positioning. The sport has four major types: men's field lacrosse, women's lacrosse, box lacrosse and intercrosse. The sport consists of four positions: midfield, attack, defense and goalie. In field lacrosse, attackmen are solely offensive players (except on the "ride", when the opposition tries to bring the ball upfield and attackmen must stop them), defensemen or defenders are solely defensive players (except when bringing up the ball, which is called a "clear"), the goalie is the last line of defense, directly defending the goal, and midfielders or "middies" can go anywhere on the field and play offense and defense, although in higher levels of lacrosse there are specialized offensive and defensive middies. Long stick middies only play defense and come off on the field on offense

    I See A Brightness

    by: Lacrosse

    this has gone on long enough, and i dont want to fight
    im not saying its your fault, you just got to be right
    and if you wanna blame someone - (I wanna blame
    someone)
    you can always try me - (already blaming you)
    an easy target, i don't mind - (why would you mind?)
    as long as were still friends - (were not friends,
    anymore)
    so let me in (let me go once again)
    please, let me in (let me go once again)
    all the lies (and all the bad talk), we can fix it (we
    can mend this)
    you know i see a brightness and so could you
    the silent treatment isnt helping (and the longer we
    stay angry) it gets worse
    I see a brightness and so could you
    it doesnt have to be this way, this could be patched up
    im sure
    if we both want it to, we could go back to before
    you know i don't like to beg - (and i don't wanna
    listen)
    but our friendship means so much - (a long time ago)
    if we just could sit back - (I don't want to talk)
    enjoy the moment that's all - (were not friends -
    anymore - so)
    so let me in (let me go once again)
    please, let me in (let me go once again)
    all the lies (and all the bad talk), we can fix it (we
    can mend this)
    you know i see a brightness and so could you
    the silent treatment isnt helping (and the longer we
    stay angry) it gets worse
    I see a brightness and so could you
    plans come and plans go - everything looks so small
    im thinking about swallowing my pride and picking up
    the phone
    oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, yeah, thats just what
    i'll do, do, do - tomorrow
    all the lies (and all the bad talk), we can fix it (we
    can mend this)
    you know i see a brightness and so could you
    the silent treatment isnt helping (and the longer we
    stay angry) it gets worse
