Catch And Release

歌詞

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 I was a fool to believe, too blind to see I'm just a pawn in a game of catch and release 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 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 I was a fool to believe, too blind to see I'm just a pawn in a game of catch and release 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 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 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
