they say you can't go home again, it's true
especially when your home burns down around you
i lit the match with a flick of the cleat from the league that hexed me
yeah i'll see you in hell cuz it's hell that sent me
as i walk out the door singing "next team, next team"
first you do it for the money
then you do it for the fame
then you do it for your teammates
then you do it for the flame, for the flame
firewalker with me
if you ever felt alone in the crowd that screams your name
firewalker with me
it's just a game, it's just a game
nobody deserves to be called a curse
but if you're gonna insist, i'm happy to make it worse
i'll start again with a slate as blank as the stares in the crowd
when i'm the last one standing will you still be proud
as i brush off the ashes screaming "next team, next team"
first you're done in by the money
then you're done in by the fame
then you're done in by your teammates
then you're done in by the flame, by the flame
firewalker with me
if you ever felt alone in the crowd that screams your name
firewalker with me
it's just a game, it's just a game
it's almost over now
i think i know how
this all ends
what's left of the money?
of my friends?
there's a darkness closing in
no more games, no more regrets
oh god, why can't i forget?
firewalker with me
if you ever felt alone in the crowd that screams your name
firewalker with me
when you're tired of the shadows and the shame
firewalker, firewalker with me
if you've ever felt the rush of the fire, of the flame, of the flame
firewalker, firewalker with me
if you've ever felt the brutal chill of charred remains
it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game.

Grew up with the sunbeams, dreamt a lot of pipe dreams
Wanna be a big star, never got too far
Can I live up to my namesake or am I just a mistake?
Alaynabella Hollywood never did no one no good
Oooooh
I’ll show you
I am an entity fueled by chaos
But I won’t help you get to the playoffs
I’m just here for your entertainment
So peel another star off Hollywood Boulevard
Lost in my writing, never do the right thing
Kissin’ my girlfriend, caught up in the whirlwind
Baby I’m a hellhound I know I got you spellbound
Alaynabella Hollywood, overlooked, misunderstood
Oooooh
I’ll show you
I am an entity fueled by chaos
But I won’t help you get to the playoffs
I’m just here for your entertainment
So peel another star off Hollywood Boulevard
Peel another star off Hollywood Boulevard

i once was a rookie all bright-eyed and green
now i'm a veteran, grizzled and mean
but i'll still play my way right through inning sixteen
i guess that's why they keep me around
bring the fielders in
wipe the slate clean
sound the organ, baby
top of thirteen
everyone is tired
everyone but me
it’s the dead of darkest night
i feel free
one solid single
got my man on first
for a right-handed rookie
he’s not the worst
if i play my cards right
i’ll be a king
i swing to live
and i live for the swing
grit my teeth and raise my elbow high
it’s just the universe, the ball and i
tomorrow's another morning on another beautiful day
and i hit
into a double play
ground out up the middle
he never stood a chance
on the long way back
he tries to kill me with a glance
nobody reads the stats, kid
what the hell is OPS
you and i know what matters
is i tried my best
sure, my average now is .113
what do you want from a one-star player on a two-star team
you’ve gotta know when to run and know when to walk away
and when to hit
into a double play
double play, double play
live to fight another day
when you wanna get the inning over and done
cause i
swing and miss
mama said there’d be days like this
and i guess there will always be another one
planet earth is just a ball
and it is hurtling through space
it doesn’t curve or break or fall
but it’ll knock the nose right off your face
and if i don’t see or hear it
then i will never fear it
i’ll be in the lineup till i’m old and gray
another lifetime and a double play
double play, double play
live to fight another day
when you wanna get the inning over and done
cause i
swing and miss
mama said there’d be days like this
and i guess there will always be another one
(x2)
i guess there will always be
i guess there'll always be
i guess there will always be another one

I like you but you don't like me
I try to move on eventually
Then you like me when I don't like you
Tell me what are we to do
Won't ever meet eye-to-eye like a pitcher and a catcher
I just wish I knew what you were after
That microphone whining's been driving me insane
We'll never be kissing in that ol' blood rain
So we feedback our feelings
Going back and forth for eternity
So we feedback our feelings
Never playing on the same team
Even Val Games and Nagomi Mcdaniel
Spent 22 days on the Breckenridge panel
Every time we're close we seem to lose control
In Sun 1 or Sun 2 your heart's a black hole
So we feedback our feelings
Going back and forth for eternity
So we feedback our feelings
Never playing on the same team
Can we reverb and try again and again?
Can we reverb and try again?
When we're ghosts in the Hall
It won't matter at all
A total eclipse of the heart
We're a shell of a thing
We're two birds without our wings
Can we reverb back to the start?
I like you but
I like you but
What am I to do?

I saw you dancing in the stands before the game
Now I wake up in a sweat ‘cause I’ve been calling out your name
Vanessa Tables, where do I start?
Standing on a stolen second base, you’re fielding right behind
You whisper in my ear and it sends shivers down my spine
Vanessa Tables, you have my heart
You’re just so stunning and I don’t know what to do
Yeah you live beneath the sea, and I’m a girl from Bellevue
You pushed me in the pool when last I talked to you
Vanessa, you’re on my mind
Maybe I will tell you how I feel on Day 55
This game ain’t quite as fun when you’re not up there at the plate
But I catch up on your replays just to make sure you’re okay
Vanessa Tables, do you do the same?
You’re always staying at the same hotel
But my door is open so come over darling, you might as well
Vanessa baby, it’s warmer in my bed and I don’t care what people say
‘Cause at the end of every day you’re the one I’m here to please
You’re just so stunning and I don’t know what to do
Yeah you live beneath the sea, and I’m a girl from Bellevue
We splashed each other senseless and we wrestled in the pool
Vanessa, you’re on my mind
Maybe I will tell you how I feel on Day 55

Waiting on the rising sun
To lay its swollen eyes on me
Not a second oh too late
The heavy feeling fought to plate
And I am here and you are far
But we make burdens easy work
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And I have sown a field for you
And I will reap what comes of it
Waiting on the awling sky
Punctured, let the light on through
And spring returns as promised, you
Start to believe in getting by
It’s midnight in the parking lot
I’ve never shone more brightly than
In stadium with several suns
Moonlighting once the day is done
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And we have sown a field for you
And you will reap what comes of it
I will not take my eyes off you
When I think I’m not coming back
It comes on when the music hits
It comes on when I try to laugh
You beckon and I’d steal for you
It’s how I know that I’m still here
It’s how I know love is a choice
I make so I don’t disappear
Darling, you’re my second sun
Watching me where I belong
Keep the lights from going out
Keep the dark from coming on
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And we have sown a field for you
And we will reap what comes of it
Oh, my my (repeat)

i know you didn’t mean to
and no i’m not upset
but when i'm not around anymore
there’ll be nothing to forget
i think that i prefer this
to be hidden from the spotlight
just down here in the shadows
thriving in the night
and if you do remember
well that’s okay with me
but i'd rather be forgotten
i'd rather be set free
even when i was with you
i was hardly even there
so when i retreat to the shadows
don’t pretend you care
let me blend into the choir
of long forgotten souls
there is peace within the darkness
there is comfort in the cold
and if you all forget me
well that’s okay with me
‘cause the ones we love remember
those close to us will see
since we shine brightest in the shadows
at the darkest time of night
to the ones who want to see us
we’re right there in plain sight
