Sports Analogies

(album: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Season 4) - 2019)

[Nathaniel:]
We're down for the count
It's down to the wire
We can't drop the ball
We gotta aim a little higher

[Josh:]
'Cause when we're on the ropes
And it's our turn at bat
We gotta throw a Hail Mary
Gotta go to the mat

[Nathaniel & Josh:]
Sports analogies
Sports analogies

[Nathaniel:]
We've found the common ground
In all men's personalities

[Josh:]
We talk a big game
That's how we relate

[Nathaniel & Josh:]
It's the easiest way for men to
Communicate

[Nathaniel:]
Hike!

[Josh:]
It's par for the course

[Nathaniel:]
When you're in the home stretch

[Josh:]
To swing for the fences

[Nathaniel:]
With a full court press

[Josh:]
We're on the one yard line

[Nathaniel:]
Inches to go

[Josh:]
So you'll pitch and I'll catch

[Nathaniel:]
'Cause it's our lead to blow

[Nathaniel & Josh:]
Let's use more
Sports analogies
Sports analogies
They help men cope with life's
Harsh realities

[Josh:]
Let's spew more clichés

[Nathaniel:]
'Til we run out the clock

[Josh:]
Just keep your eye on the ball

[Nathaniel:]
The puck

[Josh:]
And my shuttlecock

[Nathaniel & Josh:]
Hey!
Sometimes, when we watch sports,
We get sad
And we make it seem like
We're sad about the sports

[Josh:]
But we're not really crying
About the game at all

[Nathaniel:]
Who really cares about
A game of basketball

[Nathaniel & Josh:]
We're sad about our dads
We couldn't talk to our dads
Unless we used
Sports analogies
Sports analogies
Men feel safe with these
Empty generalities

[Nathaniel:]
Let's go for the gold

[Josh:]
And then we'll hit the lockers

[Nathaniel & Josh:]
We're american men
We like all sports
Except for soccer
'Cause soccer's just a bunch
Of foreigners running around
Yeah!
