Catch
Brett Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wasn't tryna feel like this
I wasn't tryna feel nothing at all
I just came to meet my friends
And try to drink a long week off
I didn't wanna stay too late
I wasn't tryna close it down
I was doing my own thing
Yeah, up until you sat down

I thought that I'd catch a buzz, catch a game
Catch up with the boys, the same old thing
Catch a cab back to my place
But then I saw your face
Now you got me tryna
Catch your eye, catch your name
Catch a spark and start a flame
The way you smile and I can't help myself
Girl, you got me tryna catch my breath
You got me tryna catch my breath, yeah

You got me doing double takes
You went and messed up all my plans
I only meant to hold this drink
Now I'm tryna hold your hand

Yeah, I thought that I'd catch a buzz, catch a game
Catch up with the boys, the same old thing
Catch a cab back to my place
But then I saw your face
Now you got me tryna
Catch your eye, catch your name
Catch a spark and start a flame
The way you smile and I can't help myself
Girl, you got me tryna catch my breath, whoa
Oh, you got me tryna catch my breath, whoa

Got me catching feelings
I wasn't even tryna feel this
I don't know how you started stealing my heart
Like you are in this bar but I'm glad that you are
'Cause I just thought that I'd

Catch a buzz, catch a game
Catch up with the boys, the same old thing
Catch a cab back to my place
But then I saw your face
Now you got me tryna
Catch your eye, catch your name
Catch a spark and start a flame
The way you smile and I can't help myself
Girl, you got me tryna catch my breath, oh
You got me tryna catch my breath, yeah




Ooh, you got me tryna catch my breath, whoa
You got me tryna catch my breath, whoa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics convey the unexpectedness and power of love. The man's plans quickly went out the window when he saw the woman's face. He became infatuated with her and can't take his eyes off of her. He tries to catch her attention, her name, and spark a connection with her.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the man's urge to be with this woman he just met. He compares his original intention to just "catch a buzz" and "catch up with the boys" to the new plan he has for the night. He wants to catch her eye and start a spark, and he's struggling to catch his breath because of his feelings for her.


Overall, the song conveys the thrill and unpredictability of falling in love, even when it's not something you planned on. It brings to mind the excitement of seeing someone and feeling a real connection with them.
