Letter

By the time I get to your room
My emotions been doing backflips
And it took more than a yard just to rein them in
The game isn't lost if we don't win
And you ask why I left
I got stuck in some serious traffic
When the map is set and the lines are drawn
I prayed to God, I didn't get a response

You know where I am
The breakthrough's breaking in
I'm feeling
Grateful

By the time I get to you
You've flipped and turned away
There's a marquee missing a light bulb
A starting pitcher and he's all nerve
But you gotta wait for me
I'm your best remaining company
When the people leave and the crowd's all gone
Dancing alone with the houselights on

They all scream for more
But we're already bored
I'm feeling
Grateful

The only difference between "scared" and "scarred" is
Just a letter
Just a letter
When it's in print, it's definitely deafening
You can do better
You can do better

By the time I get to you
I've already become irrelevant
Before you know it, they're reimagining
Your life as a miniseries
And in the blink of an eye
The critics are asking for more
And the studios say, "I like that
Yeah, just say the things that you said before"

They all scream for more
And we're already bored
I'm feeling
I'm healing
And yeah, I'm screaming
Grateful
