Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you think i'm stupid in love
You'll be lonely when i'm gone
You think that i owe you
for things that i've borrowed
you'll be sad to see me run
I know you really want to
cause you wont find another one
no one like me
So try to catch me if you can
I know you really want to
cause you wont find another one
like me
You thought that you saw me
two months ago
But that was just my simple ghost
Well i'm far far away now
In a gypsy land
treat me by your dirty hand
So try to catch me if you can
I know you really want to
cause you wont find another one
no one like me
So try to catch me if you can
I know you really want to
cause you wont find another one
like me
The lyrics to Adiam Dymott's song "Catch Me If You Can" seem to address someone who is underestimating the singer's intelligence and emotions. The first verse tells us that whoever the singer is addressing thinks that they know her and that she is naive when it comes to love. The second verse is about someone who believes that the singer owes them something for borrowed items, and they will be sad to see her go. These two verses suggest that the person the singer is talking to is someone she used to be in a relationship with or had some sort of connection to, and they have underestimated her and the impact she has had on their life.
The chorus is a defiant statement from the singer, challenging the person to try to catch her if they can. She declares that she is unique and one of a kind, and the person will not find another person like her. The bridge talks about how the person believed they saw the singer two months ago, but it was just a ghost. The singer is now in a different place, living a different life, and she challenges the person to try to catch her now.
In summary, "Catch Me If You Can" is a song about a person rediscovering her independence after a relationship or connection with someone who has underestimated her. She challenges that person to try and find someone else like her and catch her if they can.
