matt van - america's pastime lyrics

[verse 1]
i never cared much for baseball, anyway
but by the time that it crossed my mind
i guess it was too late
’cause i’d already made a commitment
to the team
now i try to stay away from those
perhaps something’s wrong with me
christopher punched me in the chest
when i was thirteen
i went home and cried
’cause i didn’t know why
but he was probably hurting more than me
i was afraid my heart might stop
in my sleep
but it was all in my head
sometimes my imagination
gets the best of me

[chorus]
so throw me a pop fly
while i’m chasing b+tterflies in centerfield
america’s pastime
so much can change in twenty years
ooh
[verse 2]
when i was sixteen, i fell in love with a girl
and one day she invited me
to come to her youth group after school
and when i arrived
i was taken by surprise
when she fell to her knees
people were speaking in tongues
at the top of their lungs
and i just wanted to leave

[bridge]
so take me back in time
where i’m chasing b+tterflies in centerfield
america’s pastime
that’s what i’ll say in twenty years
ooh

[chorus]
ooh, throw me a pop fly
while i’m chasing b+tterflies in centerfield
america’s pastime
haven’t felt this alive in years
ooh

[outro]
i never cared much for baseball, anyway
but by the time that it crossed my mind
i guess it was too late
