[Verse 1]
You may find yourself
Living in the strike zone
And you may find yourself
in another part of the country (Kansas City)
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of another late-game loss
And you may find yourself on a beautiful day
With a beautiful team
And you may ask yourself
“Well…how did I get here!?”
[Chorus 1]
Letting the days go by
Let the team 57 wRC+ against the Kansas City Royals this season hold me down
Letting the days go by
Lack of defense flowing underground
Onto the plane again
After the
winning streaks are gone
Once in a lifetime
Lack of defense flowing underground
[Verse 2]
And you may ask yourself
“How do I work this?”
And you may ask yourself
“Where is that hitting from the heart of the lineup?”
And you may tell yourself
“This is not my beautiful day!”
And you may tell yourself
“This is not my beautiful team!”
[Chorus 1]
Letting the days go by
Let the team .172 AVG against the Kansas City Royals this season hold me down
Letting the days go by
Lack of defense flowing underground
Onto the plane again
After the comeback attempt is gone
Once in a lifetime
Lack of defense flowing underground
[Bridge]
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
[Verse 3]
Quality pitching starts dissolving, and hard-hit outs removing
There is power at the top of the lineup
Under the power, carry the power
Remove the quick outs at the bottom of the lineup
Quality pitching starts dissolving, and hard-hit outs removing
[Chorus 2]
Letting the days go by
Let the team .287 SLG against the Kansas City Royals this season hold me down
Letting the days go by
Lack of defense flowing underground
Into the loss column again
Into the silent bats
Under the errors and poorly-fielded balls
There is frustration underground
Letting the days go by
Let the team 24.6 K% against the Kansas City Royals this season hold me down
Letting the days go by
Lack of defense flowing underground
Into the loss column again
After the lead is gone
Once in a lifetime
Lack of defense flowing underground
[Verse 4]
You may ask yourself
“What is that beautiful AL West standing?”
You may ask yourself
“Where does this season go to?”
And you may ask yourself
“Am I right? Am I wrong?”
And you may say to yourself
“My God! What have I done?!”
[Chorus 2]
Letting the days go by
Let the team .526 OPS against the Kansas City Royals this season hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the loss column again
Into the silent bats
Under the errors and poorly-fielded balls
There is frustration underground
Letting the days go by
Let the team .240 OBP against the Kansas City Royals this season hold me down
Letting the days go by
Lack of defense flowing underground
Into the loss column again
After the lead is gone
Once in a lifetime
Lack of defense flowing underground
[Outro]
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it, ever was
And look where my team was
Leads aren’t holding up
Time isn’t after us
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Letting the days go by
Same as it ever was
And here, a series loss comes, here comes the loss
Same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Same as it ever was
Once in a lifetime
Let the team .166 win percentage against the Kansas City Royals this season hold me down
Letting the days go by
Lack of defense flowing underground
Into the loss column again
