I step up to the plate where they used to be
big shoes to fill, never meant for me
I hit a dinger against the Steaks
and they stare at me like I made a mistake

always first up, I’m always first out
to the noise of the exasperated crowd
maybe I suck but at least I suck out loud

and they said, ‘you're not very strong, you're not very tall’
‘you've got a big heart, but you can't play ball’
maybe I’m not a credit to your team
it's not my choice so it's not my dream

'you're holding me back, praying that you feedback'
I told the gods, and they didn't give a damn
so am I good enough now?
when will I be good enough for you?

couldn't hit the ball so I hit the bricks
landed in Charleston, got some brand new kicks now
I put my jacket on, got some friends along
guess I'm here but I don't know for how long

‘cause there's still this voice in my head
saying all good things must come to an end
well, if I’m good, we’ll know when I’m dead

and they said, ‘you're not very strong, you're not very tall’
‘you've got a big heart, but you can't play ball’
maybe I’m not a credit to your team
it's not my choice so it's not my dream

'you're holding me back, praying that you feedback'
I told the gods, and they didn't give a damn
so am I good enough now?
when will I be good enough for you?

my day came and I took the fall
caught up with some old friends down in the hall
but the cold flame could never touch me
they locked the door but I found my own key

send the squid my regards
I'll see you again when it's in the cards
but until then this is my fresh start

‘cause they said, ‘you're not very strong, you're not very tall’
‘you've got a big heart, but you can't play ball’
maybe I’m not a credit to your team
it's not my choice so it's not my dream

I know my place but it's not where I'll be
you can set me ablaze but you can't get rid of me
so tell me, is that good enough now?
maybe I'm good enough for me
