The Catalyst Lyrics
I am on your side
You light me up inside
You fill my eyes with stars
It doesn't get me very far
Just look around
You don't need no fairy tale
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up
But if there's something more than this
I'll get you stuck inside a kiss
And if there's something more than this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining into space
I am on your side
You light me up inside
You fill my eyes with stars
It doesn't get us very far
Just look around
You don't need no fairy tale
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up
But if there's something more than this
I'll get you stuck inside a kiss
And if there's something more than this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
Spotlights shining into space
Just look around
You don't need no government
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up
But if there's something more than this
I'll get you stuck inside a kiss
And if there's something more than this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
Spotlights shining into space
You light me up inside
You fill my eyes with stars
It doesn't get me very far
You don't need no fairy tale
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up
I'll get you stuck inside a kiss
And if there's something more than this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining into space
You light me up inside
You fill my eyes with stars
It doesn't get us very far
You don't need no fairy tale
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up
I'll get you stuck inside a kiss
And if there's something more than this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
Spotlights shining into space
You don't need no government
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up
I'll get you stuck inside a kiss
And if there's something more than this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
Spotlights shining into space

this song...is just..so damned beautiful....i can't even fathom where to begin to describe what this song is about but the whole
"You don't need to fabricate stuff to make stuff work" point of the songs really gets me heh
My favorite Abandoned Pools song. I think it's about.. trying to convince someone to fall for you, even though it seems like all odds are against that and they don't seem to fall as easily as you do? Either way it includes a one-sided love.
Er, one thing to note, though.
I always heard the line "Sparklers shining in to space" as "Spotlights shining in to space". That seems to make more sense to me.
@shikonaori thanks for the correction - I was always on the fence on that one

Sounds like the main character of this song has gotten close to someone who they want to start a relationship with, but this person may have just gotten out of one and lost touch with reality. So he/she nutures his/herself by fantasizing.
