​ollie mueller’s seen it all

[Verse 1: Ollie]
Call me an alternate, it's time for me to go
Even for a moment, anywhere is better than
Hear me cry, I'm tired without a doubt
A worn down shoe with the soul ripped out
My mind's so scattered, memories washed away
The black hole steals any inkling of the light of
Daybreak comes, the dawning second sun
The moon blocks out and we all burn one by one

[Chorus: Ollie]
Why must I stay?
When I step up to the plate
I'd rather be forgotten
I'd rather bе replaced with someonе better
Why must I stay?
When I step up to the plate
I'd rather be forgotten
I'd rather be replaced with someone better

[Verse 2: Ollie]
Every day I wonder, where did Malik go?
Is he doing well, and can I visit him some
Time feels fractured, and space no longer whole
Death is just a waiting room to come back home
Swept to the elsewhere, years went by
Aging in the cellar like a fine red
Why not peel back the curtain and let me step inside
Travel to realities much kinder in design

[Chorus: Ollie]
Why must I stay?
When I step up to the plate
I'd rather be forgotten
I'd rather be replaced with someone better
Why must I stay?
When I step up to the plate
I'd rather be forgotten
I'd rather be replaced with someone better

[Bridge: the garages]
How do we even lift the ball?
You feel it coming like a wave
This sad whiny song makes me sad
There's no sure way forward here
I don't know I'd get you back
There's a coldness in my blood
We may not look like much
Face the sun
There is no second chair
Can we win it for them?
All I wanna do is go
A new leaf, a clean slate
Is there something missing?
A chance to breathe
'Cause nothing ever gets better 'round here
Is it time yet?
An opening wormhole
Will I be all alone again?
No loss, no disappointment
(Why must I stay?)

[Outro: Ollie]
But I guess I'm here
So better make the most of it
Back on the field
So might as well toast to it
But I guess I'm here
So better make the most of it
Back on the field
So might as well toast to it
(Can you say thank you to Coach Ollie?)
(Thank you, Coach Ollie!)
