A very lo-fi diy version of the most perfect song ever written, Catch by the Cure
Dedicated to my Grandma Ruth and Aunt Lori who passed in the year 2020
Originally written by Robert Smith of the Cure
lyrics
yeah i know who you remind me of
a girl i think i used to know
yeah i saw her when the days got colder
and on those days it felt like snow
and yeah i even think that she stared like you
she used to stand there and stare
and roll her eyes right up to heaven
and make like i just wasn't there
and i remember she used to fall down a lot
that girl was always falling again and again
and i used to sometimes try catch her
but never even caught her name
and sometimes she would spend the night
just rolling about on the floor
and i remember even though it felt soft at the time
i always used to wake up sore
and yeah i even think that she smiled like you
she used to just stand there and smile
and her eyes would go all sorts of far away
and stayed like that for a while
and i remember she used to fall down a lot
that girl was always falling again and again
and i used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name
yeah i sometimes even tried to catch her
but never even caught her name
