Catch & Release (Deluxe Edition)

Where no one knows me

It’s not lonely

It’s a necessary thing

It’s a place I made up

Find out what I’m made of

The nights I’ve stayed up

Counting stars and fighting sleep

Let it wash over me

I’m ready to lose my feet

Take me off to the place where one reveals life’s mystery

Steady on down the line

Lose every sense of time

Take it all in and wake up that small part of me

Day to day I’m blind to see

And find how far to go

Everybody got their reason

Everybody got their way

We’re just catching and releasing

What builds up throughout the day

It gets into your body

And it flows right through your blood

We can tell each other secrets

And remember how to love

Da da dum da dum dum dum

Da dum dum dum

Da dum dum

Da da dum da dum dum dum

Da dum dum dum

Da dum dum

There’s a place I’m going

No one knows me

If I breath real slowly

I let it out and let it in

It can be

terrifying

To be slowly dying

Also, clarifying

We end where we begin

So let it wash over me

I’m ready to lose my feet

Take me off to the place where one reveals life’s mystery

Steady on down the line

Lose every sense of time

Take it all in and wake up that small part of me

Day to day I’m blind to see

And find how far to go

Everybody got their reason

Everybody got their way

We’re just catching and releasing

What builds up throughout the day

It gets into your body

It flows right through your blood

We can tell each other secrets

And remember how to love

Da da dum da dum dum dum

Da dum dum dum

Da dum dum

Da da dum da dum dum dum

Da dum dum dum

Da dum dum

Everybody got their reason

Everybody got their way

We’re just catching and releasing

What builds up throughout the day

And it gets into your body

And it flows right through your blood

We can tell each other secrets

And remember how to love

I’ve tried spending all my time around you

Do you remember how many days all of the ways I’d try to frame it

Do you remember all of the useless, tired excuses that I came with

I’m gonna tell you tonight

I got plans of making you mine

And I know it’s just a matter of time

I’m positively out of my mind

I want to bring it to light

Everything I feel so it’s clear

Yeah, hopefully what you wanted to hear

I’m laying everything on the line

Tonight I’m gonna make you mine

I’ve tried to imagine life without you

But I find something so unique about you

I can remember, every time you’d smile I got a feeling

I can remember, all the nights when we got wild and hit the ceiling

I’m gonna tell you tonight

I got plans of making you mine

And I know it’s just a matter of time

I’m positively out of my mind

I want to bring it to light

Everything I feel so it’s clear

Yeah, hopefully what you wanted to hear

I’m laying everything on the line

Tonight I’m gonna make you mine

We both live wild and free, won’t pressure something to be

I know it’s better when the love comes naturally

Not stepping out on a whim, I’m hanging out on a limb

I know, I know

I’m gonna tell you tonight

I got plans of making you mine

and I know it’s just a matter of time

I’m positively out of my mind

I want to bring it to light

Everything I feel so it’s clear (so clear)

Yeah, hopefully what you wanted to hear

I’m laying everything on the line (on the line)

Tonight I’m gonna make you mine

I don’t think about you the same way

You’re an actress

Act like everything’s ok

I’m a drifter

I’ve been drifting far enough to say

I’ll be leaving

I’ll be gone before the day

There’s still love here

The first love is the one that never dies

You’re still shining

You’ve got diamonds in your eyes

Cut right through me

Deep within my soul I’m paralyzed

I release you

You can be someone else’s prize

It’s not enough, It’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough

It’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, It’s not enough

For me

The darkness of the basement

My parents basement

Where we used to love

We’re so quiet

We can hear the footsteps up above

I feel your body, I can taste your breath inside my lungs

You’re like fire, you’re like fire on my tongue

It’s not enough, It’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough

It’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, It’s not enough

For me

I don’t know myself without you

Afraid the world might swallow me whole

Starting over

With no one here and no where else to go

No excuses

Honestly, there’s something we both know

It’s not enough, It’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough

It’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, It’s not enough

For me

On a rainy afternoon

And I heard her say to me

Not a moment too soon

She said child don’t you worry

I will always be with you

From the way she looked at me

I believed it to be true when she said

When she said

I’m ready to close my eyes

Steady and hold tight

I’m gonna be crossing over

To heaven and the great divide and I

I’m ready to close my eyes

Heavy and so wide

I can feel it pull me under

Steady as the rising tide

Take me to the water

By the road that leads you down

And lay me down

It was early in the evening

She gave all that she could give

And I felt her leaving me

But I learned how to live when

She said, when she said

I’m ready to close my eyes

Steady and hold tight

I’m gonna be crossing over

To heaven and the great divide and I

I’m ready to close my eyes

They’re heavy and so wide

I can feel it pull me under

Steady as the rising tide

Take me to the water

By the road that leads you down

And lay me down

Lay me down

I’m ready to close my eyes

Steady and hold tight

I’m gonna be crossing over

To heaven and the great divide and I

I’m ready to close my eyes

They’re heavy and so wide

I can feel it pull me under

Steady as the rising tide

Take me to the water

By the road that leads you down

Take me to the water

Scatter me around

Take me to the water

By the road that leads you down

Take me to the water

Scatter me around

Take me to the water

By the road that leads you down

And lay me down

Lay me down

All our cards are on the table

Why you gotta be so shy?

I’ll make something out of nothing if I’m able

I should just walk on by

There’s a picture

In your pocket of somebody

And he is waiting back at home

I’ve been climbing up your stairs and I am sorry

He’s got a right to know

Yeah he’s got a right to know

So I’m running out

Maybe you’ve got something that I dream about

We can’t keep on going around telling lies

Somewhere in this I became the other guy

I can’t be that

I don’t need that weight on me

And I don’t need that weight on me

There’s a world where I can picture us together and

It’d be different, it’d be right and

My conscious would be feeling so much better

Then I’ve been feeling tonight

Then I have been feeling tonight

So I’m running out

Maybe you’ve got something that I dream about

We can’t keep on going around telling lies

Somewhere in this I became the other guy

I can’t be that

I don’t need that weight on me

No, I don’t need that weight on me

We might be having our fun

But with us carry so much more

Now all this damage we’ve done

I’ve been the one alone at home before

And I don’t need that weight on me

I don’t need that weight on me

No, I don’t need that weight on me

I don’t need that weight on me

No, I don’t need that weight on me

And I don’t need that weight on me

It’s a little bit strained

We’ve got our excuses, we’re emotionally drained

It’s a little familiar

Still a little bit blind

Fighting it is useless as we’re losing both our minds

Running on empty and I get you have to go

We’ll take it one more time before you hit the road

One last time, close the door

Come by it honestly, suddenly feeling

Two hearts breaking that thought they could make it

Take my hand, show me you don’t love me anymore

It’s a little bit tragic

A little bit sound

Yeah, damn good years of both our lives in a pile on the ground

It’s a little bit stupid

A little bit hard to conceive

That it all fades away when you leave

Running on empty and I get you have to go

We’ll take it one more time before you hit the road

One last time, close the door

Come by it honestly, suddenly feeling

Two hearts breaking that thought they could make it

Take my hand, show me you don’t love me anymore

Is this really over

Is this really over

Is this really over love

We had our whole lives

We had our whole lives

Take my hand, show me you don’t love me anymore

Take my hand, show me you don’t love me anymore

When I was younger

All the parts unknown would feed the hunger

When I’m on my own

Can’t help but wonder how life keeps on tearing me down

Take me back

Back to the time when

All the thoughts I lacked would keep me smiling

Now the cold hard facts

I seem to be finding by taking the long way around

So we cry when we try

While we empty out our eyes

We grin and we bear till the end

We can stare at the parts of our shattered broken hearts

Or we put them back together and then

We can tear it up all over again

(woah)

Tear it up all over again

(woah)

Take me in

I wanna feel it underneath my skin

Start taking over when I’m stretched too thin

And need a shoulder

To lean or for resting my head

So we cry when we try

While we empty out our eyes

We grin and we bear till the end

We can stare at the parts of our shattered broken hearts

Or we put them back together and then

We can tear it up all over again

(woah)

Tear it up all over again

(woah)

Tear it up all over again

(woah)

Tear it up all over again

Take me there

I gotta see it, need to find out where

How to believe that all the love we share

Can set me free and

Keep lifting me up when I’m down

Lifting me up when I’m down

I’ve been meaning to say something

I can get off my chest

Yeah I know I’ve been bit

I ain’t too proud to admit

That I can’t get no rest

I’ve been living ‘neath the surface

Feeling every kind of worthless

Now it’s time that it ends

And there ain’t no way

That I would ever be ok

With being just friends

So baby be good to me

Let me know you’re here to stay

Baby be good to me

You won’t ever run away

So be good to me lover all we got is each other

And I don’t need much more

Yeah I’m glad that I said it now I know I won’t regret it

You are what I’m looking for

Yeah, you’re what I’m looking for

I’ve been all around the world

and I meet a lot of girls

Now I can’t understand

No, it’s still unclear

How you got me standing here

With my heart in my hands

Yeah I did a lot of swimmin’

and I meet a lot of women

and they just don’t seem to spike

There’s no time to delay it

There’s no other way to say it

Girl, you got what I like

So baby be good to me

Keep on looking down the line

We can leave the past behind us

Keep on looking down the line

We can leave the past behind us

But fall more in love with you

Yeah, you’re what I’m looking for

No confrontation at all

Been building tension up high like a wall

So that explains the state of things

We still touch

Use making love like a crutch

I feel your heart barely beating for us

Yeah that explains the state of things

How many tears can we hold until somebody blinks

And how many holes can we put in this boat till it sinks, till it sinks

We can try to ignore it just comes back for more

It won’t go away, go away

So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state

State of things

We got stuck

This faded love’s not enough

With no direction we’re straight out of luck

Yeah that explains the state of things

How many tears can we hold until somebody blinks

How many holes can we put in this boat till it sinks, till it sinks

We can try to ignore it just comes back for more

It won’t go away, go away

So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state

State of things

Alone in the night though you’re still by my side

Nobody’s wrong but I know this ain’t right

So tell me how many tears can we hold until somebody b

links

And tell me how many holes can we put in this boat till

it sinks, till it sinks

We can try to ignore it just comes back for more

It won’t go away, go away

So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state

State of things

How it hits when I close my eyes

Straight to paradise

There’s something about the harmony

And the way it makes me feel

Heaven knows that it’s real

Everywhere I go

I know I’m not alone

I’m smiling just because I feel the love and

It makes me feel at home

Even when I’m down

Within the heart of me I believe

We can find the higher ground

Woah woah

We can find the higher ground

Woah woah

We can find the higher ground

There’s something in the atmosphere

Something in the air I can’t describe

It makes me feel alive

And there’s something about the people here

That everybody seems to know

Like one collective soul

Everywhere I go

I know I’m not alone

I’m smiling just because I feel the love and

It makes me feel at home

Even when I’m down

Within the heart of me I believe

We can find the higher ground

Woah woah

We can find the higher ground

Woah woah

Come on up I want to feel it

Come on up I want to hear the sound

We can find the higher ground

Come on up I want to feel it

Come on up I want to hear the sound

We can find the higher ground

Woah woah

We can find the higher ground

Woah woah

We can find the higher ground

Stay up lately while she’s sleeping by my side

Still heartbroken by the way that lovers lie

I used to need her now it’s hard to recall why

I think it’s time to say goodbye

How many days she did not call and did not write

All we’ve been through I never treated her unkind

Could not be bothered as she watched me lose my mind

She can take her precious time

But I still believe in love

Visions of a girl that I’ve been dreaming of

I can’t remember when exactly time was on my side

I think it’s time to say goodbye

It can be said that I’m naive and lack foresight

A firm believer in strong will and appetite

How many years now since they gave up that good fight

They had bark but could not bite

But I still believe in truth

Words that once they’re heard do not require proof

I still remember when it was that words were on my side

I think it’s time to say goodbye

How many parties and rooftop lonely nights

How many girls, how many fancy evening flights

Do I lay down before I get you off my sights

It’s been hard to feel alright

But I still believe in love

Visions of a life that I’ve been dreaming of

I can’t remember when exactly time was on my side

But I can finally say goodbye

Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

I can finally say goodbye
