​so mediocre

[Verse 1]
My father taught me to swing a bat
With high sights and years of grueling work
He said I could be the best of them yet
But his patience was waning
My training couldn't make up for
The fact I'd never be Jessica

[Verse 2]
Just so mediocre
No team would ever take me in
But I found a home with the Garages
And made some friends
But now we’re infested
By predators tearing up our stars
Turns out that my soul is too large
And the team paid the cost

[Pre-Chorus]
His words stick
Branded
He once said
That

[Chorus]
You'll play
With everything that you've got
But still it ain't much
Miles away from runner up
You'll drag
A winning team through the mud
Break all their trust
Lose all the ones you love
How sad

[Verse 3]
York buys Sunny D
I'll say that's too sweet for me
Then after a loss we’d go home and track
For his CD
Then one sunny day
He struts up coolly to the plate
Then in a single blink he's gone to the vault
Without leaving a trace

[Pre-Chorus]
You're just cursed
The worst
You live to
Hurt
His words stick
Branded
He once said

[Chorus]
You'll play
With everything that you've got
But still it ain't much
Miles away from runner up
You'll drag
A winning team through the mud
Break all their trust
Lose all the ones you love
How sad

[Bridge]
Then there's Alison Abbot
Oh, the moments regretted
I guess there's quite a
Few of them
We were running the bases
Oh the look on her face when
The Ump missed me, but
Not her

[Chorus]
You'll play
With everything that you've got
But still it ain't much
Miles away from runner up
You'll drag
A winning team through the mud
Break all their trust
Lose all the ones you love
How sad

[Outro]
Why couldn't
You just take me?
Why couldn't
You just burn me?
Why couldn't
You just—
Why couldn't
You just burn me?
