Written about the toxic nostalgia of baseball that keeps the drinkers drinking, the owners rich, and the players good lookin.
lyrics
We made it back
Saw the silver lining
Brought an organist along this time
Wouldn’t it be nice!
Wouldn’t it be nice?
To see faces of our youth again?
The lights have taken
full effect
We can see but our noses are bleeding
Kind of a drag
A performance of men!
So Ironically undefined
Kickin up dust
A swing and a miss
We don’t run anymore
Stuck on the bench
Oh
It’s a shame not to win
Instead we wonder
What we could have been
What could have been?
We made it home
Filled the silence with
An irreparable sense
That the old ballgame
Might fail to make
All of It’s people whole in the end
The lights have gone out
But they’re still reflecting
All the evidence of lasting pride
Wouldn’t it be nice
Wouldn’t it be nice
To see the faces of our youth agin?
Kickin up dust
A swing and a miss
We don’t run anymore
Stuck on the bench
Oh
It’s a shame not to win
Instead we wonder
What we could have been
What could have been?
There was a game on the line
you couldn’t wait for your
Time anymore
What could have been?
Oh!
There’s no reason to lie
We believed they would come
If we built it again
