"A Dream With A Baseball Player" lyrics

"A Dream With A Baseball Player"

I saw you last night in my dream
That's still the closest you and I have been
That's kind of sad, don't you think? I think so
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?

I don't know
I don't know

How am I supposed to ever be with him
When he and I don't speak the same language?
But we have conversations in my head
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?

I don't know
I don't know

There's so much going on my grandmother's dead
And I can't sleep 'cause this isn't my bed
And he doesn't even know those things exist
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?

I don't know
I don't know

I could just meet him and get it over
Or I'll just keep wearing his name on my shirt
Whatever I need just to help me cope
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?
How did I fall in love with someone I don't know?

"A Dream With a Baseball Player" is about Faye Webster's crush on the Atlanta Braves player Ronald Acuña Jr. The song and its video, directed by Matt Swinsky, were released on the 23rd of June, 2021.
Faye Webster told about this song in a press release, "Off-tour I spent so much of my time watching baseball that I thought I wanted to be a baseball player. But I'm not, so I guess the next best thing was having a crush on one. I guess this song explains what having a crush feels like. Having made-up conversations with them in your head even though you don't speak their language, wearing their team jersey every day, things that make you feel closer to this person that you don't know at all. But I sang at the Braves game, and they let us meet so I think I got that one out of my system."
