STRIKEOUT

[Verse 1]
I'm a
Baserunner running to your heart
And I
Can't seem to ever make it safe
I can't
Stand to see others make it
But in the end, we're all on the same team

[Chorus]
3 balls 2 strikes
And I end up with a strikeout
Cuz I closed my eyes and swung
And straight-up missed the pitch
I know we aren't alike, I just thought
You would open your eyes and see the light
I should've listened and slid right in
But I didn't even make it, I got struck out

[Verse 2]
You threw a fastball and it sunk right down to my heart
I got blinded by the sun and just went up and swung
All thеse people dеpending on me, and I just fucked up
My rose-colored glasses won't let me see the truth
The truth that tells me I'm stuck in my youth

[Chorus]
3 balls 2 strikes
And I end up with a strikeout
Cuz I closed my eyes and swung
And straight-up missed the pitch
I know we aren't alike, I just thought
You would open your eyes and see the light
I should've listened and slid right in
But I didn't even make it, I got struck out

[Bridge]
I made the team lose the game
And the fans have started crying
And you're sitting there
Sitting there and just keep laughing
I'm trying too hard
I'm a gym class hero
Why can't I just sit on the sidelines
And be a normal zero, oh~

[guitar riff]

[Outro]
3 balls 2 strikes (just get me back home safe)
I end up, end up (help me please, oh god please) (woah-oh-oh, woah oh-oh)
And I got struck out (normal zero, normal zero) (woah-oh, woah-oh)
Started crying (just keep laughing, j-j-just keep laughing)
And I end up with a strikeout
