Catch My Death Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Death
Let me catch my breath
Let me see what's left, let me see what's true
Do I really want to run from my depths?
Will I have regrets?
Will I ever find you? Will I ever find the words
That give me motive to express?

[Verse 2]
Bread
Will I go unfed?
Will I be that fool who rushes on in to where
Angels fear to tread?
Was it me who bled
On the new death bed and there is no fear
When you're leaning on love, those grateful dead

[Chorus]
Someone like you
To research the meaning of love
Someone, I do
To be there when push comes to shove

[Post-Chorus]
I know that you know
The ending numbers
[Verse 3]
Chess
Let me play my best
When I do regress, let it all unwind 'cause we're never confined
To the board unless
There's a second guess
Look into the sky where we all comply
With something higher than the rest my love
Sail through

[Chorus]
Someone like you
To research the meaning of love
Someone, I do
To be there when push comes to shove

[Post-Chorus]
I know that you know
The ending numbers
Someone like you

[Bridge]
Sky all around
Fell to the ground
Now I'm a child
Stayed for a while
[Verse 4]
Flesh
Is it meaningless?
But we all protest to the last request
Is there anything you could now suggest?
Did I do my best?
Did I leave it better even though we look to be
Just mildly obsessed with you
Sail through

[Chorus]
Someone like you
To research the meaning of love
Someone, I do
To be there when push comes to shove

[Post-Chorus]
I know that you know
The ending numbers

[Outro]
Someone like you to be there

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
