lyrics

When I was growing up, I had a habit that was strange
Always liked to put myself slightly out of range
You never botch the play, if you never get the ball
I'd sit and watch my friends take the glories and the falls

Building castles in the sand
The outfield was my home and native land
I'd sing it from the edges of the fields and rinks and courts, singing
I'm a kid who sucks at sports
I'm a kid who sucks at sports

What's the point of t-ball anyway?
It's just baseball with the most interesting part taken away
So until things get more cool, I guess I'll just bide my time
I'll brush up on the rules while I sit on my behind

Building castles in the sand
The outfield is my home and native land
I'll sing it from the edges of the fields and rinks and courts, singing
I'm a kid who sucks at sports
I'm a kid who sucks at sports

Play Ball!

Here comes the pass! Shucks, I missed it...
Coach says, "You made the 'D' team, son." I didn't know that one existed...
Here comes the shot! But I never stopped it...
I made the catch!! Yeah, but then I dropped it...

So if you never win gold medals, never get the MVP,
Never make a diving catch, or even scuff your knees
You might be a dreamer and a schemer just like me
Your trophy is this song, and the architecture of your

Castles in the sand
If the outfield is your home and native land
Sing it from the edges of the fields and rinks and courts, singing
I'm a kid who sucks at sports
I'm a kid who sucks at sports, sing it loud
I'm a kid who sucks at sports, because I'm proud of it
i'm a kid who sucks at sports
