The Outfield

[Intro]

Come on, get up and go

Another true story, another true story

[Verse 1]

Running through airports, waiting at stations

Hoping you'd be there, wanting to tell you my name

Hoping you'd see me, stuck in the outfield

Hoping you'd notice and you'd know who I am now

All of my issues were dragging me down

I always wanted to be someone else

And then we both said...

[Chorus]

We were the young and hopeless

We were the broken youth

You’re not the only one they used

I was in the outfield too

Somehow we found redemption

We found a love that’s true

My life was leading me to you

I was in the outfield too

[Verse 2]

I was thinking about school, it was so fucking painful

My parents were both such a wreck

I needed to lean on a friend

And you were stuck out there, somewhere in California

And I was daydreaming about falling asleep next to...

You helped me face all the darkness in me

(You redeem me)

You shine your light in the space in between

Now we both say...

[Chorus]

We were the young and hopeless

We were the broken youth

You’re not the only one they used

I was in the outfield too

Somehow we found redemption

We found a love that’s true

My life was leading me to you

I was in the outfield too

[Bridge]

What you say? What you say?

We could leave, just forget it all and live forever

Run away, run away

We can go, we can drive to somewhere new

If you say, if you say, we should stay

I don't mind as long as we're together

So what you say? What you say?

Will you stay? Come on, tell me that we'll live forever

Tell me that we'll live forever

[Pre-Chorus]

We were the young and hopeless

We were the broken youth

You're not the only one they used

I was in the outfield...

[Chorus]

We were the young and hopeless

We were the broken youth

You're not the only one they used

I was in the outfield too

Somehow we found redemption

We found a love that's true

My life was leading me to you

I was in the outfield too

[Outro]

Run away, run away, run away, run away

Come on, tell me that we'll live forever

(We found redemption)

Run away, run away, run away, run away

Come on, tell me that we'll live forever

(We found redemption)

Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away, run away

(We found redemption)

Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away, run away

(We found redemption)
