Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick but make it last
So I can see how badly this will hurt me when you say goodbye
Keep it sweet
Keep it slow
Let the future pass but don't let go
But tonight I could fall too soon into this beautiful moonlight
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
See this heart won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you do
My stomach screams just when I look at you
Run far away so I can breathe
Even though you're far from suffocating me
But I can't get my hopes too high
'Cause every hello ends with a goodbye
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
Now you see why I'm scared
I can't open up my heart without care
So here I go
It's what I feel
For the first time in my life I know it's real
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
If this is love please don't break me
I'm giving up so just catch me
Kiss me quick but make it last
So I can see how badly this will hurt me when you say goodbye
Keep it sweet
Keep it slow
Let the future pass but don't let go
But tonight I could fall too soon into this beautiful moonlight
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
See this heart won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you do
My stomach screams just when I look at you
Run far away so I can breathe
Even though you're far from suffocating me
But I can't get my hopes too high
'Cause every hello ends with a goodbye
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
Now you see why I'm scared
I can't open up my heart without care
So here I go
It's what I feel
For the first time in my life I know it's real
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
If this is love please don't break me
I'm giving up so just catch me

i dunno, i think that the change of music is intertwined with the lyrics. at first it's a soft guitar and her voice, soft and unsure and hesitant, and that's the part where she doesn't want to really fall -- "so i can see how badly this will hurt me when you say goodbye."
as the song progresses she continues to be reluctant to really fall and confesses her fear of what her significant other could do ("i'm terrified of what you do, my stomach screams just when i look at you") to hurt her, but the chorus grows stronger with added violins and she says, "but you're so hypnotizing, you've got me laughing while i sing, you've got me smiling in my sleep."
and then the bridge happens, and she finally is okay with it ("but here i go, it's what i feel"), and then we get the faster guitars and drums, which are this last huge burst of excitement and this big final acceptance. "i'm giving up, so just catch me."
i think the musical is integral to understanding the song, and that demi has done an amazing job with both. i applaud her for this song, and all the other songs on her new album. it's an amazing CD.
i agree 100%
whoa thats very....presice! ait, is that spelled right? Anyways i agree 100%
I totally agree :) i never thought about it that way with the music and all but it makes complete sense!
Thats really cool how you thought of all that. How the dynamics and everything go along with the music!
Yeahh. i Agreee Completelyy(: HAhahahhaha i didnt Spelll that Right Did I COMPLETELY(: Oh Jaha how i Make Myself Laugh so Easly(: xD <br /> <br /> Love : A Random Personnn(: \<br /> Ps. i Agree : 1000000000000% hehehhehe(:
That ILOVEPAUL person Is Me(: :DD
basically I think this song is about someone who's been scared of falling in love again. Yet she meets this amazing guy, and is quickly falling in love again, but doesn't want him to 'catch her' cos if she fully commits then there's more chance she'll get hurt again. Yet she is totally falling for the new guy and has buterflies yet her head is telling her that it won't work and they'll end up finishing ' every hello comes with a goodbye' but she keeps going back to the fact she's totally falling head over heels for him. Eventually at the end she goes for it warning the guy ' please don't break me', takes the chance and lets herself fall for him, which is why it finally ends with 'so just catch me'
Well, from a personalimage of this song. She doesnt want to fall for this guy. Because they keep breaking up and getting back together.He is so hypnotizing he can break her heart but just cant stay away. And loving him is killing her because of what he does. so she is saying catch me.
Also it could be that she doesn't want to fall in love with the guy because he's going away. Mainly becvause of the lines: "How badly this will hurt me When you say goodbye" and "'Cause every hello Ends with a goodbye"
Yupp.YO!! Lol Your Are Correcto Muno!(: Lol im t Mexican Btw i Just Like Saying That.
I Meant TO Say That Im Not mexican i just Like Saying that and yeahh That ILOVEPAUL <br /> person is Me(: :DDD me and him are Still datingn i Just 4got my password(:
i think this is about not wanting to fall for the person because your afraid of getting hurt. So she's saying "don't catch me" but in the end she decides to give up and just letting him catch her.
Loving this song! Its so sweet and I love the bit where it speeds up and gets a bit funky, I just wish it would last for a bit longer, its over pretty quick.
agreed!
I disagree, I think the song was better with the slow beat. Besides, the shift in beat was symbolic of her shift in disposition on the whole situation. When it changes is when she finally starts to allow herself to be in love with him, kind of like when your heart starts to race when your thinking about the person you love with a positive light. It slows down again because she's now being a little nonchalant about it saying pretty much that she's pretty much gonna go with it at this point.
Helllo!!!! Heroine PreSon That Was the Point in the song She Didnt Want to Make It UP Alll the Way To A Fast beat that is why she Kept It At A slower And higher Beat at Points.!(:
I haven't had a song have an impact like this on me in awhile, and I'm in tears listening to the song and reading the lyrics at the same time. This has got to be one of my favorite songs on the new album, but I think I would've loved for the song to stay slow, instead of having it speed up at the end because it was really pretty like that. I love the lyrics too, she's such an amazing singer and songwriter.
i love this song! reminds of love bug
so far this is my favourite on the album, but i agree that she should have kept it slow, not all songs need a crazy part.
it sounds like don't forget
yeah i definitely hear that too
That's what I thought the first time I heard it. It's because the first line of the song is VERY similar to the first line in Don't Forget.
Opposite in meaning, but with the same beat and syllables in the line. Both are slow. Both are about relationships. Both are deep. Both were written at least with the assistance of Demi Lovato: Catch Me, she wrote by herself, Don't Forget, written by Demi Loato, Nick, Kevin, and Joe Jonas. Both are the slowest songs on her albums. Both have two words for the title. And both, oddly enough, are number six on her albums.
I love how you can hear the smile in her voice when she sings "You've got me smiling in my sleep."
