Lyrics

Dugout

Waiting on something to change from the dugout
Behind all the pain
Never got me very far
I know that it's wrong
But I don't, want to
Drop the bomb today
I'd rather stay in and hide away

Tide gets strong and wash you out
Take some time to figure it out
Four long months of grinding teeth
(Here I'm safe but here...)
Still don't have the strength to leave
(I'll waste away)

I saw your window at 2 am
And your light was still on
I found the letters that you wrote for me
And I couldn't bring myself to throw them away

You should get some sleep tonight
You should get with someone nice
Who knows what you're thinking
And doesn't let it scare him
Yes I'm changing, but
Now you're facing your fears

(Hey!)
I'll waste away
I'll waste away
