Baseball (Live At the Lighthouse) - The Modern Jazz Quartet

Though I seem cool, calm and collected Making my way to Hipster with Glasses Was a little more than just nerve wrackin' Kinda just counted on her to turn me into goo Praise whatever it ended with a smile 'Cause for a bit, a tad, a little while I expected you two to save the day with sly remarks Like, "he's so cute" and "whatever you want's" Though the white jacket didn't fit The friends I came with did perfectly Snugged right to my body Like sad movies and late night drinks Could've guessed by the end of the hour There was more than just a little smile on my face Covered in custard and cookies and cream, pissed off, I had to leave But all has to end You got a smile that could light this town, and we might need it 'Cause it gets dark around here, real dark around here Most of my old friends, I can only stand for the weekend But that doesn't apply here, doesn't apply here The day started with a bloody drip And a taste on my lips that was a lot less than desired Awkward moments to the side Not all expiring fast A tank top that didn't cover a thing And a zipped down hoodie, zipped to the bottom Had us laughing every time No matter how many chest hairs there were in sight You got a smile that could light this town and we might need it 'Cause it gets dark around here, real dark around here Most of my old friends I can only stand for the weekend But that doesn't apply here, doesn't apply here

I've been through days of silence When I thought I saw your face It happens all the time now It's how I fill my empty days The dark days are coming And I know there's no escape I didn't think I cared that much Now I'm losing everything I don't know where I am I don't know what to do And I don't know who I am I don't know where to go And I don't know what it is I don't know how to live And I just wanna see you Hang on It's not the end We're gonna live again I'll be with you again We're gonna live again The last days of summer And our thirty thousand days We put it all behind us now There's just an empty space The miracles of science And the God that gave my faith They ain't been much use to me With the things I can't replace I don't know where I am I don't know what to do And I don't know who I am I don't know where to go And I don't know what it is I don't know how to live And I just wanna see you Hang on It's not the end We're gonna live again I'll be with you again We're gonna live again Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh It's not the end We're gonna live again I'll be with you again We're gonna live again Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh It's not the end We're gonna live again I'll be with you again We're gonna live again Hang on It's not the end We're gonna live again I'll be with you again We're gonna live again Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh It's not the end We're gonna live again I'll be with you again We're gonna live again I've been through days of silence When I thought I saw your face We put it all behind us now There's just an empty space

Suddenly seeming These eggshell rifts Caving into your hands Can't sustain this breathing It weighs on my chest These lungs are filled with water from the tide From the tide And I watch them go by Can't define a purpose Though hands set adrift In eyelids, cobwebs forming Realize through the vapor Some strange trembling gift In sleep, I dream of houses in the sky In the sky And I watch them go by Sometimes I'm pulled away From my own misery Your hands cover me Eyes drift slowly Sleep the summer chill In sheets of linen Hush the static sound Of time dispersing Sometimes I'm pulled away From my own misery Your hands cover me Eyes drift slowly Sleep the summer chill In sheets of linen Hush the static sound Of time dispersing
