charge the mound

from the garages present: be my vlalentine by the garages

charge the mound by Oswin (@_quietbatpeople)

you step up to the plate
knock the dirt from your shoes
your hat's on backwards 
and Sun 2 is in your eyes
can you even tell i'm standing in front of you?

it's the bottom of the second
so many innings left to play
but i don't want to pitch
'cause when i do i know 
it means i'll have to watch you run away

i've watched you leave
one too many times before
and i can't do it again
so won't you just

charge the mound
i just want to feel your arms around me
so please
charge the mound
the fans will understand
they've been waiting so long
we've been waiting so long

you're back up at the plate
that old bat in your hands
my team's up by three
but i can tell you're gonna fight
and everyone is watching from the stands

it's the bottom of the ninth
you're tired and i am too
i know things are different
but i want you by my side
do you even know how much i love you

i've watched you run away
way too many times before
and i won't do it again
so won't you just

charge the mound
i just want to feel your arms around me
so please
charge the mound
the fans will understand
they've been waiting so long
we've been waiting so long

charge the mound
i just want to feel your arms around me
so please
charge the mound
the fans will understand
they've been waiting so long
we've been waiting so long
i've been waiting so long
