The Outfield

(album: Youth Authority - 2016)

Come on, get up and go
Another true story
(Another true story)

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 know who I am now

All of my issues were dragging me down
I always wanted to be someone else
Now we both say

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 felt the love that's true
My life was leading me to you
I was in the outfield too

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 was stuck out there
Somewhere in California
And I was day dreaming
About falling asleep next to

You help me face all the darkness in me
You shined your light in the spaces between
Now we both say

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 felt the love that's true
My life was leading me to you
I was in the outfield too

Whatcha say, whatcha say, we can leave
Just to give it all and live forever
Runaway, runaway, we can go
We can drive to somewhere new
If you say, if you say, would you stay?
I don't mind as long as we're together
So whatcha say, whatcha say, will you stay?
Come on tell me that we'll live forever
Tell me that we'll live forever

We were the young and hopeless
We were the broken youth
You're not the only one they used
I was in the outfield
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 felt the love that's true
My life was leading me to you
I was in the outfield too

Runaway, runaway, runaway,
Come on tell me that we'll live forever
We found redemption
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Come on tell me that we'll live forever
We found redemption
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
We found redemption
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
We found redemption
