Cover art for catastophe lyrics by Four Year Strong

TO me its about a guy who really likes a girl and he finally got up the balls to ask her to a big event (possibly a big dance like prom)

your always runnin around with everyone else but me your such a catastrophe but hold on youve been running for o' so long and soon ill be gone

(shes been dating everyone but him and shes kinda a mess, wild and such but shes getting tired and he sees it. he reminds her that his senior year of high school is almost over and hes heading away soon)

save your breath and get down with me i never thought it would be this easy to spread you like a disease in this heat you'll be sweating out your dignity youll always be sucha catastrophe

(first line, I think its just the guy saying "lets hang out and dance with me" and he realizes it wasn't that hard '"never thought it would be this easy to spread you like a disease" to get her to go to prom with him and meet all his friends. in this heat you'll be sweating out your dignity to me is her just going crazy on the dance floor and sweating)

and im making a list of all your so called big plans and im really having trouble cuz its longer than the strech of my attention span wait what were we talkin about again

(they get carry away in conversation and she tells him all her plans for the future)

and how about yourself and do you have what it takes to raise the stakes and show you have it in you to just pick up and go give me a reason to see things through untill the end because im on to you im gonna need a shovel to dig myself outta this one

(this part is mainly about their relationship and how she too will just pick up and go and by having feelings for her, the guy is just digging a hole for himself)
