Sidelines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I remember cheering you on at every football game
Shoutin' number 20 as a running back takes your place
I wave from the bleachers on the 30 yard line
You only look away
Don't you see what it does to me
When the game is cold and the crowd goes home
I get my chance with you alone
All you seem to do
Is look right through me
I've dreamt of you a thousand times
But you don't even bat an eye
It doesn't matter what I do
Or how I try
I'm always the girl on the sidelines
In the air or on the ground, I feel the spirt all around
I guess you really drove it home again
As I watch you walk away with her in your arms
Like I'm only a friend
Can't you see that should be me, that should be me
When the game is cold and the crowd goes home
I get my chance with you alone
All you seem to do
Is look right through me
I've dreamt of you a thousand times
But you don't even bat an eye
It doesn't matter what I do
Or how I try
I'm always the girl on the sidelines
Now pretend your just a mistake
As I watch the instant replay
Spinnin' round and round again inside my mind
I've dreamt of you a thousand times
But you don't even bat an eye
It doesn't matter what I do
Or how I try
I'm always the girl on the sidelines
I'm just another girl on the sidelines
