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
[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

It's just a game where no one, game where no one
No one wins
