Catching Feelings
Sammie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you want to catch the feelings
Now you want to catch the feelings
(Just a bit older now)
Now you want to catch the feelings
Now you want to catch the feelings
(And I wonder why why)
Now you want to catch the feelings
Now you want to catch the feelings

Started out as best friends
Just a bit older now
I remember when
We would stay up all night
Talking on the telephone
Rapping till the sun came up
It's so funny how
Things have changed cause

Now I don't know
Exactly what to say
To find out if she feels the same way
And if she don't then that will break my heart
I'll keep it to myself even though
I know that it will be hard

I'm catching feelings
That I've never done before
I can't believe I'm falling for her
I'm catching feelings
Don't want to hold back no more
'Cause she's the only one I adore

I tried to hide the, the way I feel for her
But when she's near me I tend to let it show
But getting jealous, but now there's talk to her
Why can't I get the nerve to call
And let my feelings show girl


Repeat 1

Repeat 2 (2x)



Although I dream of you becoming my girl

I also want to be your best friend

Cause you're the only girl I want in my world

I try to front but I just can't begin



Repeat 2



(I'm catching feelings)

I never thought I'd fall for her

Being friends was cool enough

I miss the way we used to roll

But I have to catch these feelings

(I'm catching feelings)

I never can build up the nerve

(Don't want to hold back no more)

Or the words to say to her

I really, really miss the way we used to be







Repeat 2 till end
