Modern Baseball

Notes

From You’re Gonna Miss It All2014

Written by Jake Ewald, Brendan Lukens,

Lyrics

Notes

[Verse 1: Jake Ewald]

Dear long, dark hair

I write 'cause I know you'll forget

You could be sea-green in a wastebasket tomorrow

No repulsion toward

My premature indulgences

If you can't recall a word I said

[Bridge 1: Jake Ewald]

Not like those cheekbones

That crooked nose

No, those fellas stick around too long

Perpetuating every pathetic word that I would skew

Into song

[Verse 2: Jake Ewald]

She was my trophy shelf of slip-ups

My untamed, hormonal Loch Ness shitshow

On late night rotation for months on end

A brick-boot swimming lesson

In the deep end of my adolescence

Scrawling notes on the backs of my hands

[Bridge 2: Jake Ewald]

But I'll start fresh with you

Extracting the rusted attachments

Keeping the die-hard nuts, bolts, and screws

We'll go from Square One

Modern Baseball on Dork

Why Modern Baseball stepped back in 2017, and what their Philadelphia shows meant

Modern Baseball’s 2017 pause was a decision about health and friendship, not a conventional farewell. Their later Philadelphia dates marked a deliberately limited return before the band took the break they said they needed.

Modern Baseball’s 2017 split became a three-band show in London

Modern Baseball’s Split 7” with Thin Lips and The Superweaks documented a shared tour, then found a more practical expression when the supporting bands joined the headline set in London.
