Catch You
Sophie Ellis-Bextor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look in the mirror
On your key chain
Or in the coffee spoon
On your shirt sleeve
In the flat-screen
In your mailbox
Come on baby, when will you see
That you and I were meant to be
And now I got my target on track
Baby you should know that I'm so good at that
Run to where you want, run to where you want
I am gonna find you
There ain't no distance far enough
My love's gonna find you
Run to where you want, run to where you want
But may I remind you
There ain't no engine fast enough
My love's gonna catch you
In your top drawer
In your check book
On your cellphone
By your easy-chair
In the next room
Behind the curtain
Can't escape me
I'm watching everywhere
Come on baby, when will you see
'Cause you and I were meant to be
And now I got my target on track
Baby you should know that I'm so good at that
Run to where you want
Run to where you want
I am gonna find you
There ain't no distance far enough
My love's gonna find you
Run to where you want, run to where you want
But may I remind you
There ain't no engine fast enough
My love's gonna catch you
Why waste your energy
No point in fighting
Let your heart surrender to your destiny
And this world's not big enough
For you to hide for long
In this game of hide and seek
There's nowhere left to run
Run to where you want, run to where you want
I am gonna find you
There ain't no distance far enough
My love's gonna find you
Run to where you want, run to where you want
But may I remind you
There ain't no engine fast enough
My love's gonna catch you
The lyrics of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's song "Catch You" are about a person who is obsessively in love with someone else, and they will stop at nothing to be with them. The lyrics describe how this person is always watching and following the object of their affection, whether it's through a newspaper or a coffee spoon, and how they will always find them no matter where they run to. The chorus is particularly powerful, as it states that "there ain't no distance far enough" for this person's love to find the other.
The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation and a lack of control over one's feelings, which can be both frightening and captivating. The singer's voice adds a sense of urgency to the song, making the lyrics even more compelling. The verses use a variety of everyday objects as symbols of the singer's all-encompassing love, creating a vivid and relatable image for the listener.
Overall, "Catch You" is a powerful, if slightly unsettling, reminder of the intensity of love and what can happen when emotions are allowed to spiral out of control.
