lyrics

wish i’d stayed back more
after playing when
you asked me
to grab some coffee before the band practice

i said no
that was my mistake
and i'll regret it every day

it’s the end of the world and what do i have to show
nothing but your old mitt and a mattress that you stole
your ashes still won’t scatter from the place i saw you fall
all i know to do is close my eyes n
eat sleep play ball

they say that grief
ebbs gently with the tides
well, here the floods come for your outfield at night

the captain smiles
i don’t reciprocate
in two hours i’m kicking myself cause i don’t learn from my mistakes

it’s the end of the world and what do i have to show
my heart stops every time i catch your name up where it scrolls
we’re broken little pieces being pinned to parker’s wall
but all i know to do is close my eyes n
eat sleep play ball

feels like i blink
and half the team is gone
burned up or feedbacked or simply just moved on

don’t talk much anymore
can’t risk making friends
why bother when there’ll just be another incineration

it’s the end of the world and what do i have to show
an empty locker room with just one jersey that i know
the new kids feel so green; they’ve still got brightness, standing tall
so all i’m gonna do is close my eyes n
eat sleep play

all i know to do is close my eyes n
eat sleep play ball
