Lyrics for Catch The Sun as interpreted by ecureuil

Catch The Sun Lyrics
Every day it comes to this
Catch the things you might have missed
You say, get back to yesterday
I ain't ever going back
Back to the place that I can't stand
But I miss the way you lie
I'm always misunderstood
Pulled apart and ripped in two
But I miss the way you lie

Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone
Catch the sun, it never comes
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire

I never really understood
Why I didn't feel so good
But I miss the way you lie
I've always been up and down
Never wanted to hit the ground
But I miss the way you lie

Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone
Catch the sun, it never comes
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire

this is probably my favorite song by the doves. it always makes me smile. for some reason, whenever i hear it, it makes me feel like i'm just running or dancing in a field or grass or flowers or something.

The song is obviously about the breaking of a relationship and of missed opportunities. But also subtly coming to terms with the demoralizing realisation that all their hard work had literally gone up in smoke when a fire burned down their studio and destroyed everything that was Sub Sub. They needn't have been so disheartened by the loss though. In fact the fire was certainly the defining moment in their progression. Their music as doves is in a whole different league. The fire remains a theme throughout their music particularly in their early work.

One of my favourite Doves tracks.

I think the last line in the chorus is, "Lost every fight I had." The previous line is, "Cry in the sand," which is where some people put their heads, figuratively speaking, when cowed by life's rough times. This also loosely goes with the contender motif of the album art. Many of the songs on the record are about being at odds with someone else in some way.

To me, this song is about believing in someone, and finding out they not only aren't what you thought, but have worked you over for their own ends; yet, you just can't shake how you feel for them. "I miss the way you lie..." Good God, that could have been me saying that to any of several exes at certain times! But, "I ain't ever going back..."
