Hey lovers, take care of our girl
She's done her best, and deserves a rest and
Now it's time for
A new leaf, a clean slate, a fresh start
Hey lovers, take care of our girl
A fallen star crashing down to earth
A new chance, a surprise rebirth
We watch her go with a collective frown
Going down
Far from our town
Hey lovers, take care of our girl
She's done her best, and deserves a rest and
Now it's time for
A new leaf, a clean slate, a fresh start
Hey lovers, take care of our girl
Oh, We are sad to see her go
But in our hearts we all know
That one day she will be okay,
But till that day
this is what we’ll say
Hey lovers, take care of our girl
She's done her best, and deserves a rest and
Now it's time for
A new leaf, a clean slate, a fresh start
Hey lovers, take care of our girl
Hey lovers, take care of our girl
Hey lovers, take care of our girl

won't quit on you

i've been running round you in diamonds
you've got me trippin' over my own shoes
and i'm sick and done with these old tired gods
i wanna burn it all down and start again with you.
they took it all, they took it all!
now there's nothin' left for me
my Los Angeli are on fire
Winnipeg is in the sea
but here in your arms
i know this much is true
i'll always be your Quitter
but I won't quit on you.
you're my wyatt
don't you forget that
these days lie heavy on my shoulders
but i know one thing that's true
i'll never quit on you.
i still remember what i became
inside the shell love and malice look the same
nowhere's so lonesome so imagine my surprise
to break free and meet my reflection in your eyes.
you snapped me back, you snapped me out
you never left my side
next god that hecks with you
is gettin' crushed between my thighs
you're across the pacific
but we'll find each other soon
there's a better world for us
waiting to bloom.
you're my wyatt
don't you forget that
you've been right here by my side
through this cold bleak night
how could I ever quit on you?
i'm your wyatt
i won't forget it
i'm spent, i'm sore
but my feet keep landing sure
cuz every step i'm running home to you.

feedbacked feelings

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?

starlight waltz

It’s a tale older than I
when a man’s lover leaves him
and he’s left looking up at the sky
to wonder and cry
oh I look at the night
and wonder where you are, there in the starlight
you shined so bright
each morning when I held you in my arms
I think you might
be filling up the night with the light of your charms
but you’re so far away though
Luis Acevedo
from me
I thought I’d hold you forever
That I’d always hold the warmth that you shone
You looked to me, and said “Tot, I don’t want to lose you, now or ever”
Then you rose, and left me alone
I look at the night
and wonder, do you see my eyes reflecting
shining your light
that falls on me like tears from the sky up above
you shined each night
in the outfield just for me, or was i only projecting

hold me in your arms

i remember the first time i looked up at you
your hair was blowing in the breeze
when you combed your fingers through your wisps of hair, i knew
that i wanted your shadow arms around me
i remember when you gave me a quick glance a month ago
i remember it like it was yesterday
the dance of light your opal-coloured eyes left me entranced
you're the perfect girl in every way
so i was thinking if you wanna grab some lunch some day?
beats some child's score in pinball at the arcade?
we'll have a lovely time, and we'll somehow end up at mine
we'll snuggle, watch bad movies, drink a nice refreshing tea
i don't ask for much, i just enjoy your company
goodwin morin, hold me in your arms
make sure i am away from god's that harm
i love too much of you that it is hard to keep it concise
who knew ancient shadow magic was so warm and nice
i remember the time that you pitched at the lovers
you seemed a little dazed by it all
you fumbled with the ball as i gossiped with the others
of my crush that is 7 feet tall
i remember when two of my friends left you charmed
the envy inside of me grew
then i stepped up to the plate, and i saw in your eyes
that i may have charmed you too
so i was wondering if you wanna meet up after the game
we’ll go to a diner, you’ll order pizza and i’ll order the same
we’ll walk around all night, holding hands under the streetlights
we’ll walk down to our buses, as the city starts to wake
end the night off with a parting hug, that neither wants to break
goodwin morin, hold me in your arms
make sure i am away from god's that harm
i love too much of you that it is hard to keep it concise
who knew ancient shadow magic was so warm and nice
and i wish i had more time to know you
listen to your words that sound like gold
maybe it’s too late, maybe you
found another date, leaving my phone cold
but i guess it’s fine, i guess it’s fine
during the siesta i went up to seattle
to see a friend of mine from long ago
i saw you on the side of the street, staring at the gravel
but i felt too awkward to say hello
so i walked a different path than the one that gloogle maps said
i was 7 minutes late, and the coffee tasted like dread
as i remembered that night, with your opal-coloured eyes
you summoned five arms just for me, just to say goodbye
i wish that i had done better to stay in your life
goodwin morin, you held me in your arms
i was surrounded by your pure unrelenting charm
looking back, i guess one hug wasn’t enough to suffice
who knew ancient shadow magic was so warm and nice

i see you walking on the field
and my heart starts to thunder
i wonder
if your defense will ever yield
when i see you round the bases
i think about all the places
i'd take you if i could
the puget sound, the pitcher's mound
the stadium ground, just to kick around
'cause everywhere seems magical with you
it's difficult to tell you in a splort that kills off half its players
but here i am spilling my soul on a wing and a prayer
i'm stumbling over my own tongue
but i think this message is better sung
than said, so with that said
i'm in love with a blaseball player
i'm in love with a blaseball player
i see you round the city streets
i try to catch up and talk to you
but i don't know what to say
so all that ends up coming out is
"uh, um, i think you played really well today"
you say thanks, because you're nice
even though i am now dying inside
and i think i might be the most awkward person who has ever walked the earth
but then you give me that smile
and all is forgotten
it's difficult to tell you in a splort that kills off half its players
but here i am spilling my soul on a wing and a prayer
i'm stumbling over my own tongue
but i think this message is better sung
than said, so with that said
i'm in love with a blaseball player
i'm in love with a blaseball player
it's hard to fall in love
when tomorrow we could wake up and have to face horrors undreamed of
but i think i am anyway
i can't stand not to find a lifeline in this game

from the moment I saw you
I knew you'd
be the most exciting man in my life
but from the moment you joined me
my darling
you've been standing on the edge of a knife
you rose above all the rest, dear
with no fear
but now I think you're in over your head
love, I swear that it won't be
you or me
if someone's coming out of this dead
I'd kill for you
though I'm afraid
of having to...
with a heart full of love
and a mouth full of blood
I'm comin' back, comin' back, comin' back up
got my hooks in the win
I can taste it again
gonna save, gonna save you and all of our friends
you took us all to the top then
the champions
and god, they ground us into the dirt
I'm gonna take care of you now
don't know how
but I'm sick and tired of letting you hurt
now look at everyone taking
from our team
when we've got nearly none left to lose
you can't steal from a thief, see
you taught me
so let me take a step in your shoes
I'd kill for you
though I'm afraid
of having to…
with a heart full of love
and a mouth full of blood
I'm comin' back, comin' back, comin' back up
got my hooks in the win
I can taste it again
gonna save, gonna save everyone that I can
I'll make the strikeout, take their blood, how good it feels to bring it home now
bring the fire now, bring the crows, look how much stronger I can grow
I'll defend this team alone...
I'd kill for you
I'm not afraid
of having to...
with a heart full of love
and a mouth full of blood
I'm comin' back, comin' back, comin' back up
got my hooks in the win
I can taste it again
gonna save, gonna save everything that I can
with a heart full of love
and a mouth full of blood
I'm comin' back, comin' back, comin' back up
got my hooks in the win
I can taste it again
gonna save, gonna save
anything that I can

hey. this is kinda out of character from me
i don't talk about myself that much, and you'll probably think it's funny
guess it couldn't make things that much worse to just let my facade crack
so i'll write a song to help me pass the time until the day you come back
it might be too long and i couldn't get the rhymes to work
and if you tell me that you think it's good i'll-
(be normal about it, i'll be- deeply, deeply normal.
yeah, right.)
(let me try again)
i miss you. it's strange to admit
i've never had much i could cling to, my guy, you were all of it
and they say i overreacted
but i've been waiting for you so long that all my yeast putrefacted
i think it was cool what you did
but lame. mostly lame. and also not cool at all
you, like you do, took the world on your shoulders
why not let someone catch you when you take the fall?
i miss you. it's strange to admit
i'd like to be the one to save you but i don't think i'm cut out for it
i miss you. it's cliched, just a bit
but i keep your old ballcap on the counter where we used to sit
and i say a small prayer to whatever god's out there
waiting for me at the end
that someday i'll be selfish in a way that helps me
instead of just hurting my friends
but for now
my dough's gotta rise. not much else to do
but switch a timer on, and wait in the kitchen for you
(guys, you don't really have to back me up or anything, it's--oh. okay. this might as well happen)
(alright i gotta do the outro, everybody clear out)
the alarm woke me up, my dough's risen too
and you left me all alone, waiting in our kitchen for you

you step up to the plate
knock the dirt from your shoes
your hat's on backwards
and Sun 2 is in your eyes
can you even tell i'm standing in front of you?
it's the bottom of the second
so many innings left to play
but i don't want to pitch
'cause when i do i know
it means i'll have to watch you run away
i've watched you leave
one too many times before
and i can't do it again
so won't you just
charge the mound
i just want to feel your arms around me
so please
charge the mound
the fans will understand
they've been waiting so long
we've been waiting so long
you're back up at the plate
that old bat in your hands
my team's up by three
but i can tell you're gonna fight
and everyone is watching from the stands
it's the bottom of the ninth
you're tired and i am too
i know things are different
but i want you by my side
do you even know how much i love you
i've watched you run away
way too many times before
and i won't do it again
so won't you just
charge the mound
i just want to feel your arms around me
so please
charge the mound
the fans will understand
they've been waiting so long
we've been waiting so long
charge the mound
i just want to feel your arms around me
so please
charge the mound
the fans will understand
they've been waiting so long
we've been waiting so long
i've been waiting so long

crashed down in kansas city
seeing faces i don’t really know
hand me a different jersey
at least for this part, i’ve done it before
in a dream i had coffee
macchiato city where nobody sleeps
and in that dream we didn’t win much
but nobody cared least of all, me
i have different hobbies now
rap god, crochet, skating at the park today
i'm not waiting for you to come around
i'm better now i'm better now
i'm better now
go big or go home and i wanna
go home i don’t have a home, man
what’s a home, anyway
i think i lost it
im tryna find it
and i don’t wanna shine brighter than the moon
farewell brother, you're gone too soon
wish i could pay tribute
i'm still tryna get over it
blaseball, you don’t love me like how i needed
thought i had it all
fire burns there’s nothing else to it
the greatest fall
and i crashed down in kansas city
it’ll never be the best thing to me
though i’m better now
i’m better
(woo!)
so i’ll leave dial tone behind
i can't be waiting around for a call
who’s gonna be calling for me
who’s around to call
so i'll leave dial tone behind
i can't be waiting around for a call
who's gonna be calling for me
who's around to call at all
hi, this is jessica telephone who is not here right now. leave a
message after the beep, thank you! (beep)
