[Verse 1]
I joined a tennis club, and I don't even like sports
Now the only games I play are out on the court
Trading thoughts of you for white sneakers and shorts
But there's something so familiar 'bout the back and forth
[Pre-Chorus]
We would just fall apart when I thought that we had it
Before I crossed the line, you were causing a racket
Playing on the same team, why you want the advantage?
(Maybe I'm being dramatic)
[Chorus]
Now I'm sitting on a bench 'cause I'm so tired of running
No matter what I do, I'm always chasing something
I really hate the pеssimist that I'm becoming
But no matter what I do, it's like lovе means nothing
[Verse 2]
I hate the tennis club, but I'm here every night
Working so hard at this thing I don't like
I feel so out of place under fluorescent lights
Around all these happy people who don't got you on their mind, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
We would just fall apart when I thought that we had it
Before I crossed the line, you were causing a racket
Playing on the same team, why you want the advantage?
(And, yeah, I'm being dramatic)
[Chorus]
Now I'm sitting on a bench 'cause I'm so tired of running
No matter what I do, I'm always chasing something
I really hate the pessimist that I'm becoming
But no matter what I do, it's like love means nothing
[Bridge]
I joined a tennis club to get my mind off of you
That's what the self-help books all told me to do
Wanted to dye my hair blue 'cause it's your least favourite colour
Instead, I didn't leave my parents' house for the rest of the summer
[Chorus]
Now I'm sitting on a bench 'cause I'm so tired of running
No matter what I do, I'm always chasing something
I really hate the pessimist that I'm becoming
But no matter what I do, it's like love means nothing
