Basketball

from Baba Bruloakr by David Allred

lyrics

I wish I was better at basketball
And I wish I could start conversations at all
Without being so anxious
And I wish I was better being a good friend
And I wish the nights in the summer would never end
Until then at least we can pretend

There’s always time to spend
On the things that we really need to fix
But why does it feel so nice to pretend
That our problems don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist

I wish I was better at living it up
And I wish I was better at feeling
Like an emotionally stable grown-up
And I wish that I wasn’t always
Stuck in the future
And I wish that I didn’t immediately
Turn everything that I see
Into dark humor

There’s always time to spend
On the things that we really need to fix
But why does it feel so nice to pretend
That our problems don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist

I wish I was better at expressing myself
And I wish that I could see the way
That you see the world and the way
That you see yourself
And I wish I was better at being the example
That I needed and would have appreciated
When I was younger and much more able

There’s always time to spend
On the things that we really need to fix
But why does it feel so nice to pretend
That our problems don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
