Catherine's Mistake

All she wanted was a way out. 

lyrics

Most say they hate the sound near airports, 
But it made Catherine fall in love 
With every soul smiling towards their new horizon,
Close enough to hear, yet miles above. 

The resonance shatters her wine glass, 
But it’ll take more than that to stop another refill 
And Catherine says “I don’t know who I am but I think I know you, 
I swear I know you… 

And now I feel like I’m running in step with a plane, 
That’s a thousand miles away, 
And I’m heading for the crash site, 
Running to the crash site. 
And you’re an A-bomb falling, 
My God you’re gonna level this whole town. 
We’re going down.” 

Most people hit bottom in this dive bar, 
But it’s where Catherine met her match. 
“Need a light?” He purred 
And she burned 
And she held him by her fingertips 
If we go out now, we can torch this town, 
And fly above the rats you’re stuck here with, 
Towards golden bays and decadence. 

The resonance shattered an eyeglass, 
She thought it would take more than that to blind whatever foresight 
Now Catherine says, “I gave up who I was 
Cause I thought I knew you, 
You said I knew you.” 

And now I feel like I’m running in step with a plane, 
That’s a thousand miles away, 
And I’m heading for the crash site, 
Running to the crash site. 
And you’re an A-bomb falling, 
My God you’re gonna level this whole town. 
We’re going down.” 

Has anyone ever been in love like this? 
Has anyone, anywhere, ever been in love like this? 

“And now I feel like I’m running in step with a plane, 
That’s a thousand miles away, 
And we’re dead here at the crash site 
Burning at the crash site 
And you’re an A-bomb falling, 
And my God you’re gonna level this whole town. 
We’re going down. 
And now I feel like I’m running in step with a plane, 
And I’ve been in a tailspin since you took me away 
I missed the fire from the ground, 
We’re going down." 
(Has anyone ever been in love like this?)
