Many a day I spent hiding underneath my sheets
Praying the light could find me still
Just a glimpse of the world that was outside my bed
Oh, it seemed to work so well
But me, I never fit and I didn't try
No, I just quit and I taught myself to fake a smile
But, oh, true joy it came when I looked through my windowpane and saw
It ain't been raining for a while
So, I ain't waiting for it
Gonna go catch it now
I've been waiting for so long
For someone to show me how
So, I'm gonna go catch it now
Many a year I spent turning my back on what I know in my heart to be right
Maybe it was love, maybe it was fear, maybe it was something worse, my dear
Maybe I was just too tired to fight
Though it might seem frightening if I fall in love I won't tread lightly
No, not anymore, I'm gonna jump right in
I may not live a righteous way
But I'll try to never hide my soul away from anyone ever again
See, I ain't waiting for it
Gonna go catch it now
I've been waiting for so long
For someone to show me how
So, I'm gonna go catch it now
All I saw was all of me
Scattered round in piles of ashes on my old streets
I saw who I was, where I've been
Who I am, and who I'm wanting to be
So, I ain't waiting for it
Gonna go catch it now
I've been waiting for so long
For someone to show me how
So, I'm gonna go catch it now
