Weezer - Basketball lyrics

Under the bleachers hiding for an hour
Coach is looking for me 'cause
His job is to empower i don’t want to go in
I won't make a difference
I don’t need a stupid award

I’m still in my parka watching condensation
I’d be glad to stay here 'til
The end of all creation
I wish you would cue me
Give a little whistle
Maybe just a wink of your eye

I can’t throw this basketball
Into my own arms could you be there for me
And tell me that you want me on the team?
I can’t throw this basketball
Into my own arms basketball
Basketball

I was counting on you
You’re the one who gets me
When I try my best
You shoot a cannon of confetti
I’ve been growing colder
You’ve been getting bolder
But I believe I still have a shot

I can’t throw this basketball
Into my own arms could you be there for me
And tell me that you want me on the team?
I can’t throw this basketball
Into my own arms basketball
Basketball

Down to the buzzer i’m going for a jumper
But, ooh, alley oop oop oop
Don’t make me go alone ooh, I'm alone
Over and over and over and over and over

I can’t throw this basketball
Into my own arms could you be there for me
And tell me that you want me on the team?
I can’t throw this basketball
Into my own arms could you be there for me
And tell me that you want me on the team?
I can’t throw this basketball
Into my own arms
Over and over and over and over and over
