The Catcher in the Rye Lyrics
It doesn’t matter.
It all makes sense for all I know.
It’s the same thing that has come that will go.
I tried to speak up
(most of the time I was muzzled by a joke)
but inspiration took a break and I choked.
I said I’d give an eye for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d be the catcher in the rye for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d fight and die for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d steal the sun from the sky for you,
but that was just a lie.
I just closed my eyes for you.
It’s just a cycle.
Didn’t we all find out long ago?
From Hemingway to The Crystals,
from de Sade to Sade.
It doesn’t matter.
It all makes sense for all I know.
Those starry eyes will glisten,
till the waves reach the cove.
I said I’d give an eye for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d be the catcher in the rye for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d fight and die for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d steal the sun from the sky for you,
but that was just a lie.
I just closed my eyes.
I only closed my eyes.
I just closed my eyes for you.
It all makes sense for all I know.
It’s the same thing that has come that will go.
I tried to speak up
(most of the time I was muzzled by a joke)
but inspiration took a break and I choked.
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d be the catcher in the rye for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d fight and die for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d steal the sun from the sky for you,
but that was just a lie.
I just closed my eyes for you.
Didn’t we all find out long ago?
From Hemingway to The Crystals,
from de Sade to Sade.
It doesn’t matter.
It all makes sense for all I know.
Those starry eyes will glisten,
till the waves reach the cove.
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d be the catcher in the rye for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d fight and die for you,
but that was just a lie.
I said I’d steal the sun from the sky for you,
but that was just a lie.
I just closed my eyes.
I only closed my eyes.
I just closed my eyes for you.

Someone enjoys the pain you feel, leading you back to the familiar surface of romantic tales, repeating endlessly. But the second layer holds no depth – just an infinite, empty space beyond.
