Baseball Gloves |
| When I was five years old, I saw my dad on the driveway |
| And yelled out: «Hey dad, you wanna play some catch?» |
| I grab my glove and his glove and a baseball |
| Then went and laid up in the front yard, so I could stretch |
| He turned around and he walked to me |
| Kneeled down to my ear and then he talked to me |
| He said «Mac there’s something I should get clear, might make you sad, |
| but I no longer live here» |
| I’m sorry for the hardship, I’m moving down the street, son I got my own |
| apartment |
| And you can come and visit, I’m your parent still of course |
| But you mom and I aren’t married anymore, we were buried by divorce |
| The love we had has been thrown away |
| Turned cold, went stale, we have grown astray |
| I just didn’t know what I was supposed to say |
| So I stood there silent, and he drove away |
| My mom and dad were barely speak again for twenty years |
| There was so much anger, they would keep within |
| Until the funeral my dad was sitting in the front row, quivering so humble |
| 'Cause really just a month ago we found out she was sick |
| A month later she went and died |
| I swear to God the hardest that I’ve ever cried was at the funeral |
| Face dripping many tears, dad kneel to mom’s casket and whispered in her ear |
| This |
| I’m always pushing people away |
| And I can’t take back my mistakes |
| Or all of the penances I didn’t pay |
| There’s not a single day that I would exchange love of mine |
| The time of our lives for a lifetime of asking why |
| My son is eight years old, he’s on the driveway now |
| My wife’s inside the house relaxing as I’m smiling proud |
| So I’ma write this down, then I’ma grab my glove |
| Then I’ma go outside and play some catching, show some love |
| I’m proud of us, we made it through the storm |
| I think it’s safe to say we’ve been reborn |
| I thought that I was losing you, I thought that it was over |
| But somehow tearing us apart just made us closer |
| I love my parents, but I’ve learned from their mistakes |
| And all the turns that you can take in life, they permanently break the bond |
| you have |
| You go from being happy mom and dad |
| To you don’t wanna see their face again until you call the cab |
| And pack up your suitcase, searching for that new face |
| And that new person seems perfect for a few days |
| Then you get a true taste, and realize that you stumble through an open door |
| And that new someone that you’re hoping for is never gonna come |
| You fall in love with so many people, but get the same results from every |
| single one |
| You committed to forever, but forever isn’t done |
| You can’t grow old with someone when forever acting young |
| Your children are for so perfect, then the feeling is so worth it |
| If we open up your heart, you’d be revealing at its circuits |
| That unless you change, you’re gonna struggle for life |
| Fuck the selfishness, find the love of your life |
| And tell them this |
| I’m always pushing people away (Aww) |
| And I can’t take back my mistakes (I missed) |
| Or all of the penances I didn’t pay |
| There’s not a single day that I would exchange love of mine |
| The time of our lives for a lifetime of asking why |
