The Wild Reeds - Catch and Release текст песни

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
