Catch Me If You Can

[Verse 1]
Bitten tongue
Red in my palms
Tracing the cracks
On my own front door
Eyes on my phone
Name on the glass
Ghost of a laugh
I can’t ignore
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I say I’m fine
It tastes like metal on my teeth
Every time I shut my mouth
You live a little more in me (yeah)
[Chorus]
Catch me if you can
I’m running in circles around this feeling
Breath stuck in my hands
I’m pulling at nothing but this ceiling
Tearing through my chest
Like you planned
If I’m falling again
Then catch me
Catch me if you can
[Verse 2]
Half past two
Walls talking back
Shaking the frame
With a name I won’t speak
Heart on tilt
Thrown off track
All of this rage
Getting thin
Getting weak
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I kill the thought
It comes back sharper in my sleep
Every time I let you go
You’re right behind me
Cutting deep (oh)
[Chorus]
Catch me if you can
I’m running in circles around this feeling
Breath stuck in my hands
I’m pulling at nothing but this ceiling
Tearing through my chest
Like you planned
If I’m falling again
Then catch me
Catch me if you can
[Bridge]
You move in the spaces
Between what I say and what I mean
I burn all the traces
Still you bleed right through the seams (yeah)
Say it’s over
Say it’s done
But I’m still shaking where you stand
[Chorus]
Catch me if you can
I’m running in circles around this feeling
Breath stuck in my hands
I’m pulling at nothing but this ceiling
Tearing through my chest
Like you planned
If I’m falling again
Then catch me
Catch me if you can

pop, Alt R&B / alt pop with male vocals. Hyper-present, distorted sub-bass under a fast, skittering drum groove, sidechained pads breathing in and out. Verse is intimate and close-mic’d, almost whispered, with filtered keys and airy synths; chorus explodes into wide, ethereal stacks and bright top-line, bass pushed to the edge. Occasional pitched vocal chops and reverse reverbs for a ghostly, restless feel., r&b
