Playin Catch versuri

Playin Catch lyrics by Adam Doleac

Verse 1
I go out on the front porch ‘round 4:45
His glove on my left hand, a baseball in my right
He pulled down the driveway, still in his work clothes
Wouldn’t even walk inside, he’d just say „Buddy, let’s go”
And I thought we were just playin’ catch

Chorus
But he was catch out in the backyard
Tryin’ to catch up for a while
Just to catch what I’ve been doin’
‘Cause he’s been workin’ all the time
I was thinkin’ about a fast ball
He was thinkin’ how fast time flies
But all of that went right over my head
He was catchin’ up and I was just playin’ catch
Yeah, I was just playin’ catch

Verse 2
We’d stay out there ‘til mom said „Supper’s gettin’ poured”
‘Cause he knew that I’d grow up and be growin’, growin’, gone
He knew there’d be strike outs and curve balls I couldn’t see
And lookin’ back, I think his way of teachin’ me

Chorus
Was playin’ catch out in the backyard
Tryin’ to catch up for a while
Just to catch what I’ve been doin’
‘Cause he’s been workin’ all the time
I was thinkin’ about a fast ball
He was thinkin’ how fast time flies
But all of that went right over my head
He was catchin’ up and I was just playin’ catch

Bridge
And now I get
Why he stayed out there with me until sunset
‘Cause now I got one of my own
And he’s waitin’ to hit a home run
So I’m runnin’ home

Chorus
Playin’ catch out in the backyard
Tryin’ to catch up for a while
Just to catch what he’s been doin’
‘Cause I’ve been workin’ all the time
He’s thinkin’ about a fast ball
And I’m thinkin’ how fast time flies
And I’m hangin’ on every single word he says
Yeah, I’m was catchin’ up and he’s just playin’ catch
Yeah, he’s just playin’ catch
Mmm
