I'm steppin' up, gonna swing this heavy bat
Oh, but you knew that
And I'm chasin' every base
There are always two steps ahead
I'm your loyal protégé
You cross your arms with a frown
And you ping on and on about
All the things you know that I'll find out
And I want to understand
Everything that I do
It is always leading up to the point
When you burst the bubble
I am sure you will
Not a ball from the blue
But the kick gets harder every time you
Burst the bubble
I know you can
And you will
Yeah
I chose to submit to the string
And I'm hangin' on
It's a thin thread now
And I try, but I can't
Just ignore the glare
Shinin' from the cedar blades
Oh, you hold them over my head
And you ping on and on about
I'm like a coach dead storm in the dugout
And I chose to submit to the string
And you tiptoed from the other side
And I'm hangin' on and on about
All the things you know that I'll find out
Every time I stand on my own
I'm alone in this world
And I'm crushin' when I fall
I'm tired of finding
Oh, I'm keepin' my feet on the ground

I am at your mercy now
And it keeps me on my knees
But I did it to myself
Yeah, yeah
I did it to myself
Because you've got your needle sharpened
And I know just what it's done
So I do it to myself
Yeah, yeah
I did it to myself
Of course, my boy
I did it to myself
Of course, my boy
You know that I did it to myself
Yeah, yeah
I did it to myself
Oh
A burst bubble
