It Ain't Me
Jonas Blue & RAYE Lyrics

I remember when baseball was everything
Reminiscing about the time when baseball meant the world.

It was little league, but what a big game
Even though it was little league, the game meant everything.

There were two men on and one man out
Pressure was on with two men on base and only one out left.

I got a fastball hanging outside
The pitch was perfect, hanging outside for a great hit.

I swung that bat with all my might
With all the strength possible, swung the bat for the homerun.

And the ball was gone
Successfully hit the ball out of the park for a homerun.

They say I knocked the cover off
The hit was so powerful that supposedly the cover came off the ball.

It was the only homer that I ever had
Although it was the only homerun made, it was still memorable and meaningful.

You should of seen my dad
My dad was there to witness the moment and was proud.

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
No one can take away the moment of hitting that homerun.

As long as I'm holding on
The memory will always be cherished as long as it's remembered.

Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
The memory is so special that even heaven respects it and wouldn't want to take it away.

The devil on a good day ain't that strong
Even the strongest force of temptation can't take away the memory of hitting the homerun.

I'm keeping it here inside me
Holding on to the memory and feeling deep within.

As long as I live and breathe
The memory will stay with me until the end of my days.

The ball was soaring and the crowd was roaring
The hit was so successful that the ball soared and the crowd cheered loudly.

I was nineteen, it was a good job
Recalling being nineteen at a good job.

Moving TV's on a loading dock
Detailed explanation of the job that was held.

Till the boss said, "son
The moment of change, when the boss spoke to me.

Try to lose every seventh one
Being asked to throw away every seventh television for a special deal.

I got it worked out with a good friend
The boss had made a deal with a friend and was trying to involve me.

Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in
The manipulation of being promised to be cut-in on the deal if kept quiet.

Now what do you say
The boss trying to convince me to join the scheme.

Don't you want to be rich one day"
Appealing to my greed to entice me into the scheme.

I lost a real good job that night
The decision not to get involved in the deal ultimately resulted in losing an otherwise good job.

But I kept my pride
Despite the loss, the decision to remain ethical and honest helped to maintain pride and self-respect.

And sometimes it feels like
Reflecting on the present and how it can seem like the best years are behind us.

My best years are behind me
Expressing the feeling that the most memorable parts of life may already have passed.

Then somehow, out of nowhere
Unexpected events can occur to change that thought process.

Something sneaks up to remind me
Something happens to remind us of the special moments in life.

Like this morning, I woke up
A specific event that led to a reminder of a special moment.

To a little voice that spoke up
A small voice, most likely a child, gently reminding of something important.

Saying, "daddy, please
The child asking for something to be done by the father.

Fix a bowl of rice krispies
The specific request of the child to have a bowl of cereal for breakfast.

You're the bestest friend that I ever had
The child expressing the love that they have for their father.

You know I love you dad"
Affirmation of love between father and child.
