I'm stepping up   Gonna swing this heavy bat   Oh, but you knew that   And I'm chasing every base   They're always two steps ahead   I'm your loyal protege   You push off(?) with the ground   You go on and on about    All the things that I'll find out   And I want to understand       Everything that I do    Is always leading up to the point   When you burst the bubble   I am sure you will   Not a bolt from the blue   But the kick is harder   Every time you burst the bubble   I know you can, and you will      I chose to submit to the string   And I'm hanging on   It's a big thread now   And I try, but I can't   Just ignore the player   Shining from the scissor blades   You hold them over my head   You brag on and on about   Like a coach that's stormed from the dugout   And I try to understand      I am at your mercy   And it keeps on my knees   But I do it to myself   Yeah, yeah, I do it to myself   Because you got your needle sharpened   And I know what just (?)   And I do it to myself      Burst my bubble,   I did it to myself
