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

[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

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

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

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
