[Verse 1]

I'm a

Baserunner running to your heart

And I

Can't seem to ever make it safe

I can't

Stand to see others make it

But in the end, we're all on the same team

[Chorus]

3 balls 2 strikes

And I end up with a strikeout

Cuz I closed my eyes and swung

And straight-up missed the pitch

I know we aren't alike, I just thought

You would open your eyes and see the light

I should've listened and slid right in

But I didn't even make it, I got struck out

[Verse 2]

You threw a fastball and it sunk right down to my heart

I got blinded by the sun and just went up and swung

All thеse people dеpending on me, and I just fucked up

My rose-colored glasses won't let me see the truth

The truth that tells me I'm stuck in my youth

[Chorus]

3 balls 2 strikes

And I end up with a strikeout

Cuz I closed my eyes and swung

And straight-up missed the pitch

I know we aren't alike, I just thought

You would open your eyes and see the light

I should've listened and slid right in

But I didn't even make it, I got struck out

[Bridge]

I made the team lose the game

And the fans have started crying

And you're sitting there

Sitting there and just keep laughing

I'm trying too hard

I'm a gym class hero

Why can't I just sit on the sidelines

And be a normal zero, oh~

[guitar riff]

[Outro]

3 balls 2 strikes (just get me back home safe)

I end up, end up (help me please, oh god please) (woah-oh-oh, woah oh-oh)

And I got struck out (normal zero, normal zero) (woah-oh, woah-oh)

Started crying (just keep laughing, j-j-just keep laughing)

And I end up with a strikeout
