Mat Kearney - Catch A Fire Lyrics

Mat Kearney Lyrics

"Catch A Fire"

Twenty miles from the rest of our lives
Drop a quarter, put some air in the tires
Tired eyes are catchin' exit signs, and I'm
Just tryin' to catch a fire

One of the many things out of my control
Like pushing pennies like it's saving your soul
Tryin' to remember feeling mountain high, and I'm
Just tryin' to catch a fire

Ooh
I just wanna shed my skin
Ooh
See you with a naked eye again
Wanna hold you up in the light
Lay you down in the pines
Oh, I
Just wanna catch a fire

Just tell me anything and I will respond
Like marionberries on the side of the lawn
I've seen them growin' on the highway sign, and I'm
Just tryin' to catch your eye

Have I done enough
To be catchin' up?
Am I strong enough
Not to miss this time?
Are you callin' bluff?
Have I messed it up?
Baby, I, I'm tryin' to catch a fire

Ooh
I just wanna shed my skin
Ooh
See you in the naked eye again
Wanna hold you up in the light
Lay you down in the pines
Oh, I
Just wanna catch a fire

Ooh
I just wanna shed my skin
Ooh
See you in the naked eye again
Wanna hold you up in the light
Lay you down in the pines
Oh, I
Just wanna catch a fire
