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 yourslef and quit to play it safe
And the boy's got skills, the girl's got notion
Smart enough but he lacks devotion
Your reasons rhyme and your rhymes keep scheming
But it's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone
And I know you'll, 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 your robbing schemes,
no explanation, got minor details filling major gaps
And your memory, so just trace your footsteps
Back to where this all started, before you got yourself broken-hearted, now
Just keep it right there cause you'll, 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, so never, get it right
I know you'll never get it right
You only take this so far, then leave it all behind (get it right)
So tonight, I'm making up my mind (get it right)
You know you make this so hard to leave it all behind
