Catch Me On Your Way Back Down Lyrics

Tell me about your summer,
And all the sights you've seen.
Austin's lights, are fading fast,
And your whispers only carry in between.

It's your lipstick, it just blankets,
Your honest eyes.
And your glances, only glimpse to,
All the secrets that you hide.
You're so contageous, and I'm longing for your taste,
And it's all, coming back to me.

Sort this out, chasing ghosts,
Of all you thought you'd be by now.
Live your life, leave me out,
Catch me on your way back down.

So pretend, everything, is exactly how you planned it,
And your letters only comfort you so much.
But your picture, looks so different, and I'm seeing it so clearly,
Without ever really seeing it at all.

It's your lipstick, it just blankets,
Your honest eyes.
And your glances, only glimpse to,
All the secrets that you hide.
You're so contageous, and I'm longing for your taste,
And it's all, coming back to me.

Sort this out, chasing ghosts,
Of all you thought you'd be by now.
Live your life, leave me out,
Catch me on your way back down.

(Instrumental Solo)

And it's you, and it's you,
And it's you I'm waiting for.
And it's you, and it's you,
And it's you I'm waiting for.

And it's you, and it's you,
And it's you I'll wait here for.

Cover art for Catch Me On Your Way Back Down lyrics by Green River Ordinance

I love this song, but it's so sad.

To me, this song is about a guy who lost a girl awhile ago, and every now and then he wishes he had her back, but every time he remembers that she's moved on, and she's living her life without him. I can't tell if the guy tries to say he's over her, but by the end of the song he realizes that no matter how hard he tries to forget, he will always be waiting for this girl to come back, even if he himself moves on.

That's just how I see it.
