Baby Boy

It's a whole new ball game
It's a brand new fucking day

I'm getting back on the grind
It's gonna take some time
Refocus myself, I gotta train my mind
Visions are stalking me, dreams that flock to me
28, not close to where I gotta be
Brand-new tunes, killed the summertime blues
No retail therapy, or pills or booze
I'm not on that vibe anymore, but it took some time
Hated waking up, feeling cloudy and hitting rewind
Not knowin' what I'd find, no mulligans in this life
I was living for the party, and I was blind

Shriveled, I was shrunk
I was mentally drunk
I was cold, I was down
I was beating myself
I feel hungry now
Like a baby boy
I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake
I'm awake

And it's a whole new ball game (it's a whole new ballgame)
It's a brand-new day (it's a brand new fucking day)

It's not the news, I was looking for
But for a change, I wasn't hanging
I was honest with myself for once
Instead of my usual haranguing
You'll be banging on my door no more
I'm bored, man, of being bored
How many more can I afford?
Dormant dreams, shelved and stored

I feel hungry now
Like a baby boy
I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake
I'm awake

And it's a whole new ball game (it's a whole new ballgame)
It's a brand-new day (it's a brand new fucking day)

Shriveled, I was shrunk
I was mentally drunk
I was cold, I was down
I was beating myself
I feel hungry now
Like a baby boy
I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake
I'm awake

It's a brand-new day (it's a whole new ballgame)
It's a brand-new day
It's a brand-new day (it's a brand new fucking day)
It's a brand-new day
