I the Mighty - Playing Catch With .22 lyrics
[I the Mighty - Playing Catch With .22 lyrics]
I've been thinking back to when we used
To share a drink on midnight walks
When you'd pretend your winter breath was
Cigarette smoke in your lungs
I'd fight the urge to give you all the
Worst advice about the ones you liked
(You called it chemistry
I called it earning bragging rights)
Knowing damn well if I told you how I felt
I'd crack the ice roll the dice
You're just a second away from
Being in love or alone what you don't know
Is that each second you waste is
A breath you don't take
It's a moment you wasted
I've been thinking back to that
Night on your front
Step when I held you as you wept
We sat awhile in silence
But I was screaming in my head
How to tell you, if I should
What to say, if I even could
And if that moment came
Would it simply hang forever?
So I always try to live
Vicariously through my friends
(You call it chemistry
I call it perfect timing instead)
Watching all them fall in love
And wondering if I will again whoa oh oh
You're just a second away from
Being in love or alone what you don't know
Is that each second you waste is
A breath you don't take
It's a moment you wasted
You're playing catch with 22
For once it's out you've got to choose
But, if you choose to hold it in
Then where's the chance to begin new love?
Who knows, maybe she's the one
I bet there's so many more than just the one
You're just a second away from
Being in love or alone what you don't know
Is that each second you waste is
A breath you don't take
It's a moment you wasted
Just falling asleep with you is enough
To keep me hanging on
Whether or not we ever evolve
If all that we are is paint on a wall
Waiting to peel off
Then poison the well and pour me a cup
Drink up
To share a drink on midnight walks
When you'd pretend your winter breath was
Cigarette smoke in your lungs
I'd fight the urge to give you all the
Worst advice about the ones you liked
(You called it chemistry
I called it earning bragging rights)
Knowing damn well if I told you how I felt
I'd crack the ice roll the dice
You're just a second away from
Being in love or alone what you don't know
Is that each second you waste is
A breath you don't take
It's a moment you wasted
I've been thinking back to that
Night on your front
Step when I held you as you wept
We sat awhile in silence
But I was screaming in my head
How to tell you, if I should
What to say, if I even could
And if that moment came
Would it simply hang forever?
So I always try to live
Vicariously through my friends
(You call it chemistry
I call it perfect timing instead)
Watching all them fall in love
And wondering if I will again whoa oh oh
You're just a second away from
Being in love or alone what you don't know
Is that each second you waste is
A breath you don't take
It's a moment you wasted
You're playing catch with 22
For once it's out you've got to choose
But, if you choose to hold it in
Then where's the chance to begin new love?
Who knows, maybe she's the one

You're just a second away from

Just falling asleep with you is enough
To keep me hanging on
Whether or not we ever evolve
If all that we are is paint on a wall
Waiting to peel off
Then poison the well and pour me a cup
Drink up
