The Wild Reeds - Catch And Release lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] Oh, Rosie, won't you visit me? I'm in a bad way and I can't seem to shake it Remember the one with eyes like the sun? It turns out I was wrong I wish I could say it had gone my way But instead I've just been waiting in vain I keep playing the record forward and back And it's driving me mad [Pre-Chorus] I was a fool to believe, too blind to see I'm just a pawn in a game of catch and release [Chorus] Every time he cut the line I thought I'd make it out alive Till he reeled me in just to toss me back And he did it with a smile [Intro] [Verse 2] Oh, Rose, you know just what to say It's not like me to get this bent out of shape But I was chasing a dream down a one way street And now it's out of sight I guess some people don't want the real thing You wouldn't recognize it if all you've seen Is a photograph of a painting On a pixelated screen [Pre-Chorus] I was a fool to believe, too blind to see I'm just a pawn in a game of catch and release [Chorus] Every time he cut the line I thought I'd make it out alive Till he reeled me in just to toss me back And he did it with a smile They said "Hold your tongue, save some face" Keep the secrets to yourself But it's a man's world and he got the last word So I had to write it down [Bridge] There's a lesson to be learned in this And that's all he gave to me Victory is learning how to bow-out gracefully Don't hold your breath The future's always hand in hand with fate And part of growing up is knowing when to walk away [Chorus] Every time you cut the line I thought I'd make it out alive Till you reeled me in just to toss me back And you did it with a smile So I cut my ties, but won't count the loss The sun was bound to set Now you get to be the fool In a game where no one wins It's just a game where no one wins It's just a game where no one, game where no one No one wins
