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 And 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 And 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 And eat, sleep, play All I know to do is close my eyes And eat, sleep, play ball
