[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
