Catch Me While I'm Cold
About this track
You only want the puzzle piece that's still warm You're tracing initials on steam that disappeared You keep waiting for my pulse to quicken then click the plot until it thickens I'm so easy to idolize when I don't answer your calls You stretch your lines and chase scenes through my aphorisms and off-white lies You want a tragedy you can play but not write So here I am, unlit, every signal misunderstood It's cute the way you diagnose, like astrology You're so unbroken open For a fight, you feel punished by silence Find meaning in a regret Catch me while I'm cold, darling, now you want me, now you can't I only burn for you when there's nothing left to scorch Nothing happens until you grab the check we split in pain You'll miss me best when you're driving home rehearsing what you didn't say Catch me while I'm cold I'm never warmer than goodbye You give me the heat, I give you chaos on demand While Chekhov's gun sits collecting dust on your nightstand We sing no-part harmonies, followed rules nobody made There is positions on the ways we both get played You draw the curtain once I'm done, then comes your encore You always look so sexy when you're halfway out the door You collect glances like postcards you don't send, you promise you still love me as a friend You get sentimental once the house is set Catch me when I'm cold, love, now you feel it now it's late I only want you when I'm slightly out of frame Only yours when your countenance steps away You'll remember what I ruined, never what I gave Catch me while I'm cold I only call it love when leaving feels the same
