In the valley of your slowly-fading memory
Are there pastures bathed in some uncertain light where you won’t graze?
Paths you won't take?
Spin around now
Can you hear me?
Am I still buzzing in my sleep?
What does it feel like to shine between everything?
It’s never going to stop
Batter up
Give me your best shot
Batter up
I saw something in the night sky over Camden
Turned around and drove the opposite direction ‘cause I feared them
Now when will they come?
You were all I see
You were everything
Cast about you, turning up your gravity and pull me in
Or under
It’s never going to stop
Batter up
Give me your best shot
Batter up
And even though the roar died in your throat
The lines get blurred
Lose whoever you once were
Died and returned to the earth
Found ourselves back
In love
It’s never going to stop
Batter up
Give me your best shot
Batter up
Never gets forgot
Batter up
You don’t get what you want
Batter up
Batter up
Batter up

This is a beautiful song, and I see it as a great closing song for the band brand new. People will have their own in detail interpretations, but I see it as a challenge for other bands to come and do better than they have (as that is near impossible) and make incredible music that will keep going on for generations. Of course this is brand new we are talking about and I could have this song meaning completely backwards, but I find the song amazing from my interpretation.
This song to me is about Jesse asking God to save him. He sees that he is being looked over and his prayers are not answered. Whatever is keeping him away from believing that we all are able to be born again is haunting him. God bless you Jesse.
