I'm stepping up
Gonna swing this heavy bat
Oh, but you knew that
And I'm chasing every base
They're always two steps ahead
I'm your loyal protege
You brush your arms with a frown
You go on and on about
All the things you know that I'll find out
And I want to understand
Everything that I do
It is always leading up to the point
When you burst the bubble
I am sure you will
Not a bolt from the blue
But the kick is harder
Every time you burst the bubble
I know you can, and you will
I chose to submit to the string
And I'm hanging on
It's a big thread now
And I try, but I can't
Just ignore the glare
Shining from the scissor blades
You hold them over my head
You brag on and on about
Like a coach that's stormed from the dugout
And I try to understand
Everything that I do
It is always leading up to the point
When you burst the bubble
I am sure you will
Not a bolt from the blue
But the kick is harder
Every time you burst the bubble
I know you can
I am at your mercy now
And it keeps on my knees
But I did it to myself
Yeah, yeah, I did it to myself
Because you got your needle sharpened
And I know just what's in store
So I do it to myself
Yeah, yeah, I did it to myself
A burst bubble,
I did it to myself
A burst bubble
You know that I did it to myself
Yeah, I did it to myself
A burst bubble
