[verse]
i'm showing off and chasing scouts
and dreaming of draft day
i was so busy trying to win
did i even wanna play
i was devastated when
i didn't make the team
my obsession with the game
was really about me

[chorus]
so i'll take my swing
but if i strike out, i won't feel bad
cuz you were never pitching it to me
yeah i'm done wasting
my time here, i won't go to bat
for someone who could care less about me
[keeping the 'wrong' version, if they actually cared less i wouldn't get the time of day]

[verse]
i know i'm not the man for you
not even in your league
but give me just one chance with you
and i think that you'll see
we would make a stellar team
yeah we could get a win
you've kept me on the bench till now
now coach just put me in

[chorus]

[bridge]
try as i might to brave it
i'm not alright today yet
for once can i just get a win?
i gave you all of me
i thought that we could be
inseparable until the end

i'm tired of being picked last
i can't escape from my past
can't win the 'ships when kept at bay
[championships and relationships and boats wow]
but i'll keep up my practice
with hopes that one day that is
enough to finally find my way

[chorus x2]
