Catch in the Dark Lyrics
Says to leave my front door open.
I come home to find her smoking,
With here eyes all fragile and thin.
She's always been hopeless at hoping,
Always coped badly with coping,
And I never know when she's joking;
She never lets anyone in.
I know I'd be a fool to let
Her run away with my heart.
She'll never tire of this game.
Loving her is like playing
Catch in the dark.
I'm a teardrop in an ocean of flame.
She'll ask me why none of her men stay.
I tell her just what her friends say,
But it never goes down too well.
She'll stay here till late in the evening,
But she's always arriving or leaving.
She never decides to believe in
The people who know her so well.
And I know I'd be a fool to let
Her run away with my heart.
She'll never tire of this game.
Loving her is like playing
Catch in the dark.
I'm a teardrop in an ocean of flame.
We'll get married and move to the country,
But I know she'll never want me.
And it's 5:15 in the morning.
I reach for her whilst I'm yawning.
She leaves me with no warning...
Well, she calls me up when she's broken, Says to leave my front door open. I come home to find her smoking, With here eyes all fragile and thin. She's always been hopeless at hoping, Always coped badly with coping, And I never know when she's joking; She never lets anyone in.

And we drink too much for a Wednesday. She'll ask me why none of her men stay. I tell her just what her friends say, But it never goes down too well. She'll stay here till late in the evening, But she's always arriving or leaving. She never decides to believe in The people who know her so well.

I've never related to a song so much. The last bar abruptly ending the song. The feeling as she leaves perfectly captured
