American Baseball lyrics
by Henry Morris
[Verse 1]
I'm out again on my own
No wonder I'm awkward
The ratio of time spent all alone
Far outweighs the opposite
Quite a bit, I'll admit, quite below, average
Desperate, this is it
Don't think he'll be back again
[Pre-Chorus]
The sandlot is empty
I'm the hero tonight
My face under fluorescent lights
[Chorus]
American baseball
I'm still a fool, searching for you
It isn't a game at all
Nothin' to lose
You should've been there tonight
[Verse 2]
All the good men in the world
Gather in a liquor store parking lot
To mourn a boy and a girl
They drink to forget that they lost
If it's an apology then I don't advise
When you lie, look me in the f*cking eyes
When you steal from me, man you rob me twice
Do you think it's funny, giving me advice
[Pre-Chorus]
The sandlot is empty
I'm the hero tonight
My face under fluorescent lights
[Chorus]
American baseball
I'm still a fool, searching for you
It isn't a game at all
Nothin' to lose
You should've been there tonight
American baseball
I'm still a fool, searching for you
It isn't a game at all
'Cause out on the bleachers
You should've been there tonight
[Instrumental Outro]
