Apartment Modern Baseball

[Verse 1: Jake Ewald]
The first time I saw you was in your apartment
I had followed my friends single-file through the darkness
I looked your direction for excessive inspection
And I could not muster the courage to say a single word

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Jake Ewald]
For a while we were playing this game that your friends bought
But everyone cheated and no one could spell
You didn't say much of anything
I must have come off annoying 'cause you went to bed

[Chorus: Jake Ewald]
I'll walk home with my eyes low
Dreaming up conversations we'll have tomorrow
Your loose ends, my new friends
All the classes in high school we fell asleep in
But now, I can hardly close my eyes

[Verse 3: Jake Ewald]
The next time I saw you was in your apartment
Oh, why do I keep ending up here on starlit evenings?
(I should be home sleeping)
But this time, you sat next to me on the couch (Dude, nice)
I stare out the window
Hands glued tight and sore
Praying to God-knows-what that you would sever what's stuck
With something shiny from the kitchen drawer
