Catch Me
Braves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We made our beds
Gotta count the threads
Earn our bread til the wolves are fed
Hey hey catch me if you can

Simon says gotta stand on your head
Gotta take the meds, find a woman to wed
Hey hey catch me if you can

Catch up or catch me

Heyo chasing my tail
I'm already hero, so are you
Heyo I'm not for sale
I'm already hero, so are you

Gotta chase my tail for the holy grail
The great white whale and the nine inch nails
Hey hey catch me if you can

You can pay my bail but I'm not for sale
Beyond the pale I was born to sail
Hey hey catch me if you can

Catch up or catch me

Heyo chasing my tail
I'm already hero, so are you
Heyo I'm not for sale
I'm already hero, so are you

catch me if you
catch me if you can

catch me if you
catch me if you can

catch me if you
catch me if you can
Heyo chasing my tail
I'm already hero, so are you
Heyo I'm not for sale
I'm already hero, so are you

catch me if you
catch me if you
Heyo chasing my tail
I'm already hero, so are you
catch me if you
catch me if you
Heyo I'm not for sale
I'm already hero, so are you





catch me if you
catch me if you can
