about

Imaginary Baseball League was an indie rock band from Murfreesboro/Nashville, TN from 2001-2005. The band released two EPs (The Letter/Cardiact) and one LP (Revive) and spent time touring the Eastern USA before quietly disbanding in 2005. Prior to breaking up, the band recorded a second full length LP that was never properly released. After nearly 16 years, The Inevitable Parting will finally see the light of day later this Spring.

lyrics

"Steeple To Steeple"

I never meant to lie
when we poured eye into eye
I will be by your side
I will not run steeple to steeple

the words, they just came out
it felt so right that I had to shout it
and I can not be blamed
we play this game
unaware of its evils

I felt her in the night
it was an evening with god
we rose like angels in flight
and you became a lost, wingless orphan

we are on our own
all alone
left to find out for ourselves
how to go on
on and on
never knowing if we'll be loved

and you are a beautiful girl
and someone has built you a home
a home at the end of the world
at the edge of where time stops
and there is a house and dog
and a family who cares
but there is a field of dead
between you
and yours

and there are pages to turn
and there are bridges to burn
and you may not get there
almost nobody gets there

but I don't need that place
there is no way I would catch that train
cause I do not need love
it's not there
it's just a delusional thread of desire
a phantom fire
set to steal us from ourselves
and there's no hell
no there's no hell
just the cold of the soil
