Kevin Devine Ballgame Lyrics:
the good man doesn't drink and i've been drinking
alone so what does that make me? my hands they
always shake, and no one's callin my phone so what
does that make me? and i know the kid with his
guitar so drunk and anxious it's been done to
death but tell me what hasn't, i'll try it.
because i'm selfish enough to want to get better
but i'm backwards enough not to take any steps to
get there. and when you realize it's a pattern and
not a phase, it's what you've become and it's what
you will stay, that's the ballgame. cause i don't
got room in my life for anyone else. and i've
driven away all the people that can help. and i
still don't even know what i need to do to fix
myself. woo! *super-clapping* and there's a clamp
around my chest that tightens everytime i lapse
into another sorry story... about my miserable
collapse. a brown box i keep encased in glass and
dust off whenever i want your pity. cause lately

i've had to come to grips with scope and figure.
how my problems stack up in a world two steps from
ruin. or maybe it's rapture. well either way i
realize that my shits about as small as it could
be but that makes me feel worse for even feeling
this bad in the first place. cause there's a war
starting soon and all the flags will be waving
daniel's twenty year old friend will be ready, and
willing, and waiting. he's a marine and he told
me. and it makes me sad, really really fucking
sad, but at least he'll act. i'll just bite my
tongue and then say "daniel you wish him luck,
i'll pray that he comes back for mother's sake"
and then i'll drink those thoughts away, i've
gotten good at that. cause when you realize it's a
pattern and not a phase it's what you've become
and it's what you've become and that's what you
will stay, that's the ballgame. oh-woo-hoo-o-o
yeah when you realize it's a pattern and not a
phase, it's what you've become and it's what you
will stay... that's the ballgame. yeah when you
realize it's a pattern and not a phase, it's what
you've become and it's what you will stay...
that's the ballgame.
