lyrics

(v1)
MANY A DAY I SPENT HIDING UNDERNEATH MY SHEETS
PRAYING THE LIGHT COULD FIND ME STILL
JUST A GLIMPSE OF THE WORLD THAT WAS OUTSIDE MY BED
OH, IT SEEMED TO WORK SO WELL
BUT ME, I NEVER FIT AND I DIDN’T TRY - NO I JUST QUIT
AND I TAUGHT MYSELF TO FAKE A SMILE
BUT, OH, TRUE JOY IT CAME WHEN I LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW
PANE AND SAW - IT AIN’T BEEN RAININ’ FOR A WHILE

(ch)
SO, I AIN’T WAITIN’ FOR IT
GONNA GO CATCH IT NOW - I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW ME HOW
I’M GONNA GO CATCH IT NOW

(v2)
MANY A YEAR I SPENT TURNING MY BACK ON WHAT I KNOW, IN MY HEART, TO BE RIGHT
MAYBE IT WAS LUST, MAYBE IT WAS FEAR
MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING WORSE, MY DEAR
MAYBE I WAS JUST TOO TIRED TO FIGHT
THOUGH IT MIGHT SEEM FRIGHTENING
IF I FALL IN LOVE I WON’T TREAD LIGHTLY, NO, NOT ANYMORE
I’M GONNA JUMP RIGHT IN
AND I MAY NOT LIVE A RIGHTEOUS WAY, BUT I’LL TRY TO
NEVER HIDE MY SOUL AWAY FROM
ANYONE EVER AGAIN

(ch)
SO, I AIN’T WAITIN’ FOR IT
GONNA GO CATCH IT NOW - I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW ME HOW
I’M GONNA GO CATCH IT NOW

(bridge)
ALL I SAW WAS ALL OF ME -
SCATTERED ‘ROUND IN PILES OF ASHES ON MY OLD STREETS
I SAW WHO I WAS - WHERE I’VE BEEN - WHO I AM
AND WHO I’M WANTING TO BE

(ch3)
SO, I AIN’T WAITIN’ FOR IT
GONNA GO CATCH IT NOW - I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW ME HOW
I’M GONNA GO CATCH IT NOW

“She’s quick to pay homage to her musical heroes but Jaimee Harris is her own person, with her own voice. She’s got a natural songwriter’s instinct for the hard truths, and a voice that brings them home with a visceral punch. Pay attention.”
