Dial Tone 02:42
I saw your back when you walked away from me The last time that I saw you on the field They all say, it’ll fade eventually, But I mean, eventually, we’ll all be dead. I don’t know if you’ll miss me at all if you’ll miss me at all I wanna reach out to you When I’m with you, I feel less alone But when I reach out to you Now all I get is the dial tone I wanna feel your presence I wanna hear you on the phone But when I reach out to you Now all I get is the dial tone I watch your games, and you’re looking so happy And you text me, when you get a moment free I don’t feel stable, when you’re not here for me And I don’t feel fear for me, I just feel pity. But I don’t know if you miss me at all if you miss me at all I wanna reach out to you When I’m with you, I feel less alone But when I reach out to you Now all I get is the dial tone I need you to keep me steady I need you to heal my broken bones But when I reach out to you Now all I get is the dial tone I know that you’re keeping busy You’re doing well, and I don’t mean to moan I just wanna talk, Jess But all I get is the dial tone Sometimes I need to stay grounded I need to hear you on the phone But I guess you left it on silent Cause all I get is the dial tone

Mina: We all know what it's like When you're down on your luck When you feel like there's trouble When you feel like you're stuck Sam: Yeah, life can be hard When you're feeling alone But when you're part of the Steaks You'll find, you'll never be on your own Mina & Dadsemble: You don't need to be down You don't need to be sad Sam & Dadsemble: 'Cause you've got a brand new set of dads! Dadsemble: When you want to fit in But there's no fittin' in We're your dad, now If you need a hand up Then just give us a shout We're your dad now If you call us we're there, we're not far away If we take you to lunch, yeah you know that we'll pay If you're looking around With no dad to be found, hey! We're your dad now Sebastian: I appreciate all that you fellas have done And by the way can I say, what a spread you've put on But there's a sadness inside and I just have to face that What Jessica means to me, no one else can replace that Dadsemble: We all understand, we could never compete But the hot dogs are done, if you're ready to eat [Louie Zong: Guitar Solo] Mina & Dadsemble: If you're running late And need a lift to the game We're your dads now (We're your dads now) Sam: If you're feeling run down And you're in need of a pun We're your dads now Sebastian: I love all you guys! Mina & Dadsemble Yeah, we all love you too! Sebastian: If I need me a dad, then I know what to do Mina & Dadsemble: We can't fix everything But we can make some dope wings Mina: And Sebastian, I mean it... We're your dads now Dadsemble: We're your dads now

[Conner] The sun is setting, there’s a golden glow Sebastian’s here, and he’s ready to go With as much energy as he had When we started this game, five hours ago And he’s got a little sweaty, and his hair’s slicked back With the evening sun, and the swinging bat And he’s got that half smile That half smile that I like And I hope he noticed, I hope he noticed When I brushed his hand when I handed the glove And I brushed his hand when I passed him the water And I brushed his hand while waiting on the bus And I said sorry, but I wasn’t sorry When I brushed his hand when I passed him his bat And he laughed a little bit while I straightened his hat And I put my head on his shoulder while we napped through the 7-hour flight from Seattle to Dallas [Sebastian] The game’s over, getting ready to leave I ask him if he wants to stick around here with me And we lie around on the bleachers Listening to Sidney Gish through my bad phone speakers And he breathes a little heavy from the exercise And the sunset catches a glow in his eyes And he’s got that half smile That half smile that I like And I hope he noticed, I hope he noticed When I brushed his hand when I passed him his bag And I brushed back his hair from in front of his eyes [BOTH] And I brushed his hand while waiting on the bus And I said sorry, but I wasn’t sorry [Sebastian] And I held out my hand, to help him down from the bleachers And I went to tie his lace, before he tripped on his sneakers [BOTH] And I put my head on his shoulder while we napped through the 7-hour flight from Seattle to Dallas

[Dadconscious] You know what’s being asked of you You know what you must do It’s not easy, our boy But really, what is? Your fear is keeping you awake Your mind will bend until it breaks It’s not easy, our son But really, what is? And if you don’t know what’s being asked You’re lying to yourself Sometimes we do what we have to do For the good of everybody else [Sebastian] I don’t know what I’m supposed to do What would my sister do? It’s not easy (DADS: it’s not easy) But nothing ever is Sebastian’s always been the guy Who has to live a painful lie That things could be so simple (DADS: it’s not simple) Yeah, I don’t get a break. Cause I know exactly what is being asked I’m not lying to myself I don’t wanna give myself up To save anyone else [Dadconscious + Steak Dads] We see you Saying You’ll be selfish But we know When you say that You don’t believe that We see you Saying You’ll be selfish But we know When you say that You don’t believe that [SEBASTIAN] Fine! Cause I know exactly what’s being asked I’m not lying to myself I’ll give myself up, as if it were my fate To save anyone else To save anyone else To save anyone else

[Sebastian] It was the noise of the crowd That made it all complete As if my mind was not Already made up for me I thought that this could be The end of my story But now I see We are more than we’re made to be We got more than meets the eye When we stand strong together, you and me We can save the world When I held my grip on both sides of the bat And I thought about him as I tilted my hat And I thought about her as I was engulfed in flame I said “I’m sorry” But, I wasn’t sorry! And I saw the fire burst in front of my eyes And I listened to the crowd, and I heard them cry And I listened for the cheers that were chanting my name I said “I’m sorry” But, I wasn’t sorry! Time stood still And I knew what to do I held my bat Like my sister knew to do And that home run Was everything we need To make it all complete When I held my grip on both sides of the bat And I thought about him [Sebastian & Conner] as I (he) tilted my (his) hat [Sebastian] And I (he) thought about her [Sebastian & Jessica] as I (he) was engulfed in flame I said “I’m sorry” [Sebastian] But, I wasn’t sorry! And I saw the fire burst in front of my eyes And I listened to the crowd, and I heard them cry And I listened for the cheers that were chanting my name I said “I’m sorry” But, I wasn’t sorry at all! [DIALOGUE - Sebastian describes the moment he was incinerated the second time] [Company] We are more than we’re made to be We got more than meets the eye When we stand strong together, you and me We can save the world When he held his grip on both sides of the bat And he thought about him as he tilted his hat And he thought about her as he was engulfed in flame He said he’s sorry [Sebastian] But I wasn’t sorry at all! [Company] And we saw the fire burst in front of his eyes And we roared like we were gonna keep him alive And he listened to the cheers as we chanted his name He said he’s sorry [Sebastian] But I wasn’t sorry at all!
