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
