Playing Catch With .22 (Bluegrass Version) Lyrics by I the Mighty

Oil in Water - EP

2016

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking back to when we used to share a drink on late night 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
[Chorus]
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 just a second away from building a life or a home
What you don't know
Is that each second you waste is a breath you don't take
It's a moment you wasted
[Verse 2]
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, or if I even could
When the moment came
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
[Chorus]
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 just a second away from building a life or a home
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 a second away from being in love or alone
Every second you waste is a breath you don't take
It's a moment you wasted
Just a second away from building a life or a home
Every second you waste is a breath you don't take
It's a moment you wasted
[Outro]
You're just a second away from being in love or alone
And every second you waste is a breath that you don't take
