Catch Me If You Can
Inspired by 911, Grenfell, Life and eventually, Love – see the iamges in the video below to get the idea I was aiming for in the music. Cheers!
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
—————
I’ve lived my whole lifetime
When I wake up in the morning
I’ll try to save to save the world
Over and over again –
Now this worm is turning
Hard lessons we’re learning
When you look skywards
You’ll see me soaring.
~~~
Through my high-rise windows
The angels are calling
Here at the End of Days
I should be more than this:
Now my world is burning
There’ll be no returning
When you look skywards
You’ll see me falling
~~~
Pick up the blanket
That’s lying on the ground
Please catch me if you can
I’m on the edge now
I’m taking flight
I feel the fire beneath my wings
Hold out your arms
And if you catch me – I’m yours
~~~
FIRST GUITAR SOLO
~~~
Through the smoke and mirrors
The heroes are calling
Here at the End of Time
We’ll be the same as them
Now the crowd is screaming:
‘There’ll be no more dreaming!’
When you look skywards
You’ll see me falling.
~~~
Pick up the pieces
You’ll find them on the ground
Please fix me if you can
I’m on the edge now
I’m letting go
I feel the fire inside my heart
Hold out your hands
And if you take mine – I’m yours
~~~
I’ve no more excuses
When I called her this morning
I’ll try to save the girl
Over and over again
When I try to change her
I end up a stranger
When you look inwards
You’ll see me soaring
~~~
SECOND GUITAR SOLO
~~~
When you look skywards
You’ll see me falling.
~~~
The End.
