Step up to the plate to play the game
Save yourself a grit to play the game
Step up to the plate to play the game
Save yourself a grit to play the game
And the boy's got skills, the girl's got notion
Smart enough, but he lacks devotion
The reason's right, but your mind keeps scheming
That's not enough, so just keep on dreaming along
And I know you'll never make it on your own
And I know you'll never get it right
You only take this so far, then leave it all behind
So tune in
So you don't make it up like mine
Before we take this too far and leave it all behind
So rise up to the occasion
Show all the skills
And no explanation
You've got minor details
That fill in major gaps
In your memory
Such a strange approach now
Back to where this all started
Before you got yourself brokenhearted
Now, keep your act up
Cause you'll never
You'll never figure it out

And I know you'll never get it right
You only take this so far, then leave it all behind
So tune in
So you don't make it up like mine
Before we take this too far and leave it all behind
Yeah
Hey, I'll miss you when I'm gone
I'll sing you a song
So tune in
And I'll miss you when I'm gone
I'll sing you a song
So tune in
Oh, get this right
I'm not just to get it right
I'm not just to get this right
You'll never get it right
I know you'll never get it right
You only take this so far, then leave it all behind
So tune in
So tune in
But you don't make it up like mine
So tune in
You know you make it so hard to leave it all behind
Step up to the plate and play the game
See yourself in winter's lion's day
