Catapult

From Crystal Sky2015

Written by Beatgees, Kat Vinter, Laila Samuels

Lyrics

Catapult

[Verse 1: Lena & Kat Vinter]

So still for the longest time

I couldn't see

Two steps ahead I was blind

I, I... I, I could not decide

When I should dive

Which river will lead to the life

That I wanted

Don't know if you know

But you messed up my space

Just what I needed to move from this place

That I wanted

Gave me a reason to open the gate

Just when it felt like it could be too late

[Pre-Chorus]

Launch me into, launch me into

Another atmosphere

Was it for you, was it for you

I would not be here

[Chorus]

Want you to know

Want you to know

You're my catapult

Want you to know

Want you to know

Want you to know

Want you to know

You're my catapult

Want you to know

Want you to know

[Verse 2: Lena & Kat Vinter]

Just two strangers rendezvous

Make me forget

Everything I ever knew

You, you... You waiting around the bend

A second before

And we would never have met

Coincident

Don't know if you know

But you messed up my space

Just what I needed to move from this place

Coincident

Gave me a reason to open the gate

Just when it felt like it could be too late

[Pre-Chorus]

Launch me into, launch me into

Another atmosphere

Was it for you, was it for you

I would not be here

[Chorus]

Want you to know

Want you to know

You're my catapult

Want you to know

Want you to know

Want you to know

Want you to know

You're my catapult

Want you to know

Want you to know

[Verse 3: Little Simz]

I'm taking off into the sky

You can see me fly

It was you and I

Read between the lines

Tell me why you try

Living in a lie

Figured that I might

See you in another life

Please don't you try me this time

Can't stand me losing my mind

I'm gone

I been searching just to find

Something that'll keep me sane while I'm here

Something I can maintain while I'm here

This has never been a game I'm sincere

Promised I will never change I'm making it clear

Boy no fears

This is my truth and you heard it here first

We probably been through the absolute worst

Boy, you, this drama, it might not be worth it

But we're more than worth it

And that's why it hurts

Don't you listen to words

Coming from anybody else but me

Is this even gonna work, well, we'll see

What will be will be

But don't underestimate me--no!

[Pre-Chorus]

Launch me into, launch me into

Another atmosphere

Was it for you, was it for you

I would not be here

[Chorus]

Want you to know

Want you to know

You're my catapult

Want you to know

Want you to know

Want you to know

Want you to know

You're my catapult

Want you to know

Want you to know
