Ballgame |
A good man doesn’t drink |
And I’ve been drinking alone |
So what does that make me? |
My hands they always shake |
And no one’s calling my phone |
So what does that make me? |
And I know the kid with his guitar |
So drunk and anxious |
Has been done to death |
But tell me what hasn’t |
I’ll try it |
Because I’m selfish enough |
To wanna get better |
But I’m backwards enough |
Not to take any steps to get there |
And when you realize it’s a pattern |
And not a phase |
It’s what you’ve become |
And it’s what you will stay |
That’s ballgame |
Cause I don’t got room in my life |
For anyone else |
And I’ve driven away all the |
People that could help |
And I still don’t even know what I |
Need to do to fix myself |
And there’s a clamp around my chest |
It tightens every time I lapse into |
Another sorry story |
About my miserable collapse |
A bronze box I keep encased in glass |
And dust off whenever I want your pity |
Cause lately I’ve had to come to grips |
With scope and figure |
How my problems stack up in a world |
Two steps from ruin |
(Or maybe it’s rapture) |
Well, either way, I realize that my shit’s |
About as small as it could be |
But that makes me feel worse for even feeling |
This bad in the first place |
Cause there’s a war starting soon, and all |
The flags’ll be waving |
And Daniel’s 20-year-old friend will be ready |
And willing, and waiting |
He’s a Marine and he told me |
And that makes me sad |
Really, really fucking sad |
But at least he’ll act |
I’ll just bite my tongue and then say: |
«Daniel, you wish him luck» |
I pray that he comes back |
For his mother’s sake, and then I’ll drink |
Those thoughts away |
I’ve gotten good at that |
Cause when you realize it’s a pattern |
And not a phase |
It’s what you’ve become |
And it’s what you will stay |
That’s ballgame |
Oh oh oh |
Yeah when you realize it’s a pattern |
And not a phase |
It’s what you’ve become |
And it’s what you will stay |
That’s ballgame |
Yeah when you realize it’s a pattern |
And not a phase |
It’s what you’ve become |
And it’s what you will stay |
That’s ballgame |
