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
