LYRICS:

off to work i am
trying to come up with a plan
that makes everything make sense
and i can’t but i’m still thinking
i’m finally ready for the big time
stayed up real late and practiced all night
swear nothing could go wrong at all
then life steps in and throws a curveball

it’s a swing and a miss

back to work i go
i am training more and more
even got some scars to show that i try hard
and now i’m sure that
i’m finally ready for the big leagues
studied up got some new tricks up my sleeve
just when i thought i made the right call
life steps in throws another curve ball
it’s a swing and a miss

waited all this time for the best years of my life
now it’s here and it’s a lie
but at least i know that
i’m finally ready for adult life
worked all day payed my bill just in time
bet you thought this would be my downfall
out of the park i hit the curveball

i’m finally ready for the big time
stayed up real late and practiced all night
swear nothing could go wrong at all
then life steps in and throws a curveball it’s a swing and a miss

it’s a swing and a miss it’s a swing and a miss
