Strike Zone
Loverboy Lyrics

YOU TELL YOUR SELF YOU'RE NOT THE ONE YOU WOUN'T GET HURT WHEN THE DAMAGE IS DONE.
You're convincing yourself that you won't get hurt even when everything is already falling apart.

YOU TELL YOUR SELF IT WOUN'T HAPPEN TO YOU
You reassure yourself that bad things won't happen to you.

IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY THERE'S NOTHING NEW.
It's a repetitive cycle, nothing has changed.

CAN'T BE THE ONE TO LOSE YOU'RE ONLY WEARIN'SOME ONE ELSE'S SHOES CAN'T YOU READ IT IT'S UP ON THE WALL HOW CAN SOME ONE SO BIG BE SO SMALL.
You can't afford to lose because you're only emulating someone else. It's written on the wall and you're questioning how someone so seemingly confident can end up feeling so small.

YOU'RE NOTHIN'WITH OUT YOUR FRIENDS THEY'LL BE WITH YOU TILL THE BITTER END YOUR NOTHIN' AND YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT THIS WORLD IS ALL ABOUT
You're nothing without your friends and they will stick with you until the very end. Only then will you realize what the world is truly about.

STANDING IN A STRIKE ZONE RUNNIN' WITH THE PACK
You're standing in the midst of chaos and competition, joining everyone else in the fray.

STANDING IN A STRIKE ZONE AIN'T NO USE IN TURN' BACK.
It's futile to back out now that you're already in a difficult situation.

YOU WANT NO WAR IT'S THE CHANCE YOU TAKE NOTHIN' EASIER AND THE ICE WOUN'T BREAK.
You don't want any conflict, but taking a risk is inevitable and it's never an easy feat.

WHEN THE SUN COMES OUT AT THE END OF THE NIGHT YOU WOUN'T ESCAPE FROM THE BLINDING LIGHT.
At the end of it all, you can't deny the reality that will reveal itself to you.

FREEDOM GOES BUT WHO TO BLAME SEE THE MADNESS BURNIN' IN THEIR BRAINS
Freedom disappears and you can see the madness that's starting to consume people's minds.

NO WHERE TO RUN NO PLACE TO HIDE YOUR ALL ALONE ON A ONE WAY RIDE.
There's no way to escape and you're all by yourself, headed for a one-way ride.

STANDING IN THE STRIKE ZONE THERE'S A PANIC IN THE STREETS AINT NO GOLDEN PARKS RETREAT
Being in the thick of things, panic ensues and there's nowhere to escape.

YOU TELL YOUR SELF YOU'RE NOT THE ONE YOU WOUN'T GET HURT WHEN THE DAMAGE IS DONE
Again, you deny the possibility of getting hurt even when everything has already fallen apart.

YOU TELL YOUR SELF IT WOUN'T TO YOU
You keep telling yourself that the same fate won't happen to you.

IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY THERE'S NOTHIN' NEW
Once again, you're faced with the same old story with nothing new to offer.

CAN'T BE THE ONE TO LOSE CAN'T YOU READ IT IT'S UP ON THE WALL HOW CAN SOME ONE SO BIG BE SO SMALL
Losing is not an option and you're wondering how someone so seemingly strong can actually appear so weak.

STANDING IN A STRIKE ZONE THERE'S A PANIC IN THE STREETS
Being in the middle of conflict, everyone is starting to panic.

STANDING IN A STRIKE ZONE AIN'T NO USE IN TURNIN' BACK
It's too late to back out now.

STANDING IN A STRIKE ZONE YOU GOT A TICKET FOR A FRONT ROW SEAT
You're right at the forefront of all the chaos.

STRIKE ZONE RUNNIN' WITH THE PACK
You're in the middle of a competitive environment, trying to keep up with everyone else.

STANDING IN THE STRIKE ZONE AINT NO USE IN TURNIN' BACK
Backtracking will only be a waste of time and effort.

YOU'RE ONLY WEARIN' SOME ONE ELSE'S SHOES
You're only imitating someone else and not being true to yourself.
