Prompt:

A day with you is a match point
With this tension, I can't move my body
I'm hiding my heart from you

This feeling makes me crazy
I don't know if I'm swinging for nothing

- ITZY, TENNIS (0:0)

You want to hit to where your opponent isn’t, but in order to make a space where they are not, you sometimes have to hit to where they are. You are trying to outmaneuver them. But because he and Cole know each other’s game so well, the maneuvering is always in minor gains, little turns in momentum. A winner here, an error there, an ace, a return winner.

- Brandon Taylor, Real Life

If you would just make one mistake
What a relief that would be

So I'll be the loser in this game
I'll be the bad guy in the play
I'll be the water main that's burst and flooding
You'll be by the window, only watchin'

- Mitski, The Only Heartbreaker

You knew the password so I let you in the door
You knew you won so what's the point of keeping score?

- Taylor Swift, Hoax
