[Intro — bright guitar + clapping beat]
Hey!
One, two, three—
You better keep up!
[Verse 1]
Alarm clock ringing but I’m already gone
Shoes by the doorway, headphones on
Everybody’s got a map for where I should be
Funny how nobody thought to ask me
They say slow down, don’t move too fast
Keep your head down, stay in the class
But there’s a whole wide world outside that door
And I wanna know what I’m waiting for
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’ll fall, maybe I’ll fly
Maybe I’ll paint my name across the sky
Don’t need to know where this road will end
I’m fourteen—I can start again!
[Chorus]
Catch me if you can
I’m running with the headlights
Dancing through the street signs
Everything will be alright
Catch me if you can
I’m faster than your plans are
Wish upon a falling star
Then chase it wherever you are
Oh-oh, come on!
Oh-oh, here I am!
If you’re looking for me—
Catch me if you can!
[Verse 2]
Hair gets messy and my laces untie
Laughing so hard there are tears in my eyes
Maybe tomorrow I’ll figure things out
Tonight I’m gonna turn the whole world loud
Don’t need diamonds, don’t need gold
Don’t need somebody telling me what I’m told
Give me a beat and an open road
I’ve got a million places left to go
[Rap — playful, quick]
Tick-tock, everybody watching that clock
I’m watching rooftops, waiting for the beat drop
Left, right, everybody follow that line
Sorry, little problem—I prefer making mine
Too young? Okay, I’ve heard that before
Too loud? Then why’d you open the door?
You can tell me everything that I can’t do
I’ll come running back with a better view!
[Beat Cut]
Shh…
Think you caught me?
Giggle
Nope!
[Final Chorus]
Catch me if you can
I’m running with the headlights
Dancing through the street signs
Everything will be alright
Catch me if you can
I’m reaching where the stars are
Doesn’t really seem that far
When you know exactly who you are
Oh-oh, come on!
Oh-oh, here I am!
The whole world’s waiting—
Catch me if you can!
[Outro]
One, two, three—
Better keep up!
Hey!
