Lyrics

Catch 22

[Intro]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

[Verse 1]

It's a strange sensation, when you see your face and

Look into your eyes, but you don't recognise them

It's hard to explain it, when you reach your name and

See your love, your words and your arrangements

[Pre-Chorus]

So open up my head and tell me what I'm needing

You'll follow me to bed and tell me what I'm dreaming

And so before I know, I'm saying things I never said

Whatever's next

[Chorus]

Positive and negative can only attract

And I'm caught in a trap, and I'm helpless

You need me and I need you so what can I do?

I, I just want the truth but I'm caught in a catch 22

[Verse 2]

Idle conversation is a dangerous occupation

Casual remarks can leave you broken-hearted

Even when you're bleeding, can't bite the hand that feeds you

Who knows who believes in what they're reading

[Chorus]

Positive and negative can only attract

And I'm caught in a trap, and I'm helpless

You need me and I need you so what can I do?

I, I just want the truth but I'm caught in a catch 22

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

I'm caught in a catch 22

[Pre-Chorus]

So open up my head and tell me what I'm needing

You'll follow me to bed and tell me what I'm dreaming

And so before I know, I'm saying things I never said

Whatever's next

[Chorus]

Positive and negative can only attract

And I'm caught in a trap, and I'm helpless

You need me and I need you so what can I do?

I, I just want the truth but I'm caught in a catch 22

Positive and negative can only attract

And I'm caught in a trap, and I'm helpless

You need me and I need you so what can I do?

I, I just want the truth but I'm caught in a catch 22

[Outro]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh
