When I was 10
it was okay to have my schemes.
All the sugar I ever wanted
and lots of time to dream.
Now I got love and money
and all that adult crap
but I still get wistful
thinking about baseball fields and softball caps.
Endless summers biking
up and down my lane.
Stay up reading Dragonlance
until school starts again.
Things were so simple then
and simple's what I need
no responsibilities
no more pressure to succeed.
I wanna go back to Softball
Take the hit and take my base.
No more rent to pay
No aspirations to chase.
When I was 10
it was okay, it was alright.
But I hated gym class
and my parents fought
each night.
A rose-coloured counterpoint
to things I won't address.
Why would I fix myself
when I can just regress?
I wanna go back to Softball.
Take the hit and take my base.
Rehearse the narrative I've
chosen to embrace.
I close my eyes and see
a kid staring back at me.
It's just a fantasy
it's just a phallacy.
I don't wanna go back to softball.
What a gutless way to live.
This album is INCREDIBLE! What a beautiful culmination of your musical talent and influences come together. Not to mention this album is queer as FUCK, which is always excellent. I'd go so far as to say that this is hands down one of my favourite new releases of 2021. frizzyandfuzzy
