Catch in the Dark - Passenger

Well she calls me up when she’s broken

Says to leave my front door open

I come home to find her smoking

With her eyes all fragile and thin

She’s always been hopeless at hoping

Always coped badly with coping

And I never know when she’s joking

She never lets anyone in

I know i’m a fool to let her run away with my heart

She’ll never tire of these games

Loving her is like playing catch in the dark

I’m a tear drop in an ocean of flames

And we’ll drink too much for a Wednesday

She’ll ask me why none of her men stay

I tell her just what her friends say

It never goes down too well

And she’ll stay here til late in the evening

But she’s always arriving or leaving

She never decides to believe in

The people who know her so well

I know i’m a fool to let her run away with my heart

She’ll never tire of these games

Loving her is like playing catch in the dark

I’m a tear drop in an ocean of flames

She says if we’re single at 40

We’ll get married and move to the country

But i know she’ll never want me

Then its five fifteen in the morning

I reach for her whilst I’m yawning

She leaves me with no warning
