Catch Me – English Lyrics

• By: Faydee

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You have me up against the wall

Soon as you walk through the door

I couldn't look the other way

Think I forgot my name

And every girl that's in the room

Don't compare to you

You're takin' over me

And everything that you do

Got me high on love, and it's all because of you

You're all that I've been thinkin' of

I gotta say that it's not like me

But it's all okay

'Cause I can't get enough of love

You got me higher than ever

With every time you get closer

My heart beats over and over

So fast that I can't control it

It's all in the way that you move

But how I got myself into?

Would you catch me?

I'm falling for you

Catch me, ca-catch me

Would you catch me?

I'm falling for you

Got that look upon your face

Like come and take me away

I put my hands around your waist

Now come and dance with me

And as we move across the floor

I can't ignore it anymore

You're talkin' over me

And everything that you do

Got me high on love, and it's all because of you

You're all that I've been thinkin' of

I gotta say that it's not like me

But it's all okay

'Cause I can't get enough of love

You got me higher than ever

With every time you get closer

My heart beats over and over

So fast that I can't control it

It's all in the way that you move

But how I got myself into?

Would you catch me?

I'm falling for you

Catch me, ca-catch me

Would you catch me?

I'm falling for you

You've opened my heart, you've captured my soul

I'm falling in love, will you ever know?

You've opened my heart, you've captured my soul (Yeah, yeah)

I'm falling in love, but you need to know

You got me higher than ever

With every time you get closer

My heart beats over and over

So fast that I can't control it

It's all in the way that you move

But how I got myself into?

Would you catch me?

I'm falling for you

Catch me, ca-catch me

Would you catch me?

I'm falling for you

Key Grammar Structures

• I couldn't look the other way

  ➔ Modal verb for past ability (could)

  ➔ In this sentence "couldn't" is the negative form of the modal verb "could", used to express inability in the past. It is followed by the base verb "look".

• You're takin' over me

  ➔ Present continuous (progressive) tense

  ➔ "You're" is the contraction of "you are" and "takin'" (taking) is the -ing form, showing an action that is happening now.

• and it's all because of you

  ➔ Prepositional phrase of cause (because of)

  ➔ "because of" introduces the reason. The phrase "because of you" means that you are the cause.

• I gotta say that it's not like me

  ➔ Informal reduction "gotta" = "have got to" (obligation)

  ➔ "gotta" is a colloquial contraction of "have got to", meaning "must" or "need to". It expresses a strong personal obligation.

• My heart beats over and over

  ➔ Simple present for habitual/repeated action + adverbial phrase "over and over"

  ➔ "beats" is in the simple present, showing a repeated feeling. "over and over" intensifies the repetition.

• But how I got myself into?

  ➔ Indirect question – need auxiliary "did" for past simple (How did I get myself into…?)

  ➔ In a past‑tense question we use the auxiliary "did" and the base verb: "How did I get myself into…?".

• Would you catch me?

  ➔ Modal verb "would" for polite request

  ➔ "Would you" introduces a polite request. The main verb "catch" stays in its base form after the modal.

• You've opened my heart, you've captured my soul

  ➔ Present perfect (have/has + past participle)

  ➔ "You've opened" = "you have opened". The present perfect links a past action (opening) to the present moment.

• I'm falling in love, will you ever know?

  ➔ Present continuous for ongoing state + future simple for prediction

  ➔ "I'm falling" uses the present continuous to describe a developing feeling. "Will you ever know" uses the future simple to ask about a future possibility.

• You got me higher than ever

  ➔ Comparative structure with "than"

  ➔ "higher" is the comparative form of "high". "than ever" compares the current feeling to any previous time.
