Catch me (jazz combo version)

[Verse 1] I’ll never forget that night — I don’t know if it was real That evening burning through the dawn The sky went pale, then split into fire — slow, thin light And streetlights flickered on and on I sat alone inside a crowded room of sound Where strings were whispering “love…” I sent you a flower sinking in your glass of wine A confession sealed in glass above --- [Verse 2] You looked at me — I caught your eyes and looked away Your stare was cold, I froze inside You turned to someone next to you and said it sharp: “Look at him… he’s in love tonight” And then the music cut the air to pieces The strings were bleeding through the silence But you stayed distant, young and proud and out of reach Your hand was barely trembling in the dark --- [Chorus] Catch me, catch me, love While the dawn is still on fire While your eyes are still inside me Pulling me higher Catch me, catch me, love You know I’m gonna fall You told me “catch me” once But I can’t reach you at all --- [Verse 3] You moved like panic in the shape of a bird in flight Like something vanishing too fast Perfume slowed down in the air, your lashes fell And silk just whispered as you passed From every mirror in the room you looked at me Like you were saying “try again” And in that silence something heavy started rising Love not quite here, pain still staying --- [Bridge] Footsteps faded underneath the vaulted hall The music rose and filled the air It felt like you still had something left to say But only silence was there --- [Final Chorus] Catch me, catch me, love While the dawn is still on fire While your eyes are still inside me Pulling me higher Catch me, catch me, love You know I’m gonna fall You told me “catch me” once But I can’t reach you at all…
