A Minor Detail

Step up to the plate to play the game
 Save yourself and quit to play it safe
 Step up to the plate to play the game
 Save yourself and quit to play it safe
 And the boy's got skills, the girl's got notion
 He's smart enough but he lacks devotion
 Your reasons rhyme but your rhymes keep scheming
 That's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone
 And I know you'll never make it on your own
 And I know you'll never get it right
 You only take this so far
 Then leave it all behind
 So tonight I'm making up my mind
 Before we take this too far and leave it all behind
 So rise up to the occasion
 Cause you're all excuse
 With no explanation
 You've got minor details
 Filling major gaps in your memory
 So just trace your footsteps
 Back to where this all started
 Before you got yourself
 Broken-hearted
 Now just keep your head down
 Cause you'll never figure it out
 And I know you'll never get it right
 You only take this so far
 Then leave it all behind
 So tonight I'm making up my mind
 Before we take this too far and leave it all behind
 Yeah, I'll miss you when I'm gone
 I'll sing you a sad song tonight
 And I'll miss you when I'm gone
 I'll sing you a sad song
 One more chance to get this right
 One more chance to get it right
 One more chance to get this right
 But you'll never get it right
 I know you'll never get it right
 You only take this so far
 Then leave it all behind
 So tonight I'm making up my mind
 You know you make this so hard to leave it all behind
 Step up to the plate to play the game
 Save yourself and quit to play it safe
