The Ballad of Holden Caulfield
If a body catch a body
Then what do the bodies do?
They can try their best not to catch again
Or they could hang on too tight
And if I called you up tonight
What would your mother say?
Remember when we'd play chess together?
You always used to castle and now I feel like
I keep singing about things that haven't happened yet
You could call it wishful thinking but it feels more depressed
And isn't it strange that when we write we always say love and never like?
As if some invisible strings have got our hands tied
Why can't my body catch your body
And keep you from losing your innocent mind?
And why can't this body live with itself
When being a lonely body ain't a crime?
And if I asked to talk to you
What would you even do?
Would you run away with the money in hand?
After all its not what you were paid for
And if my brother was here today
What the fuck would he say?
Would he be proud of what I've become
Would he hate me for the things I've done?
I keep writing songs that haven't happened yet
You could call it wishful thinking but it feels more depressed
And isn't it strange that when we write we always say love and never like?
Well I have a confession
I don't quite love you yet
But I like you something fierce
Why can't my body catch your body
And keep you from losing your innocent mind?
And why can't this body live with itself
When being a lonely body ain't a crime?
Why can't my body catch your body
And keep you from losing your innocent mind?
And why can't this body live with itself
When being a lonely body ain't a crime?
Then what do the bodies do?
They can try their best not to catch again
Or they could hang on too tight
And if I called you up tonight
What would your mother say?
Remember when we'd play chess together?
You always used to castle and now I feel like
I keep singing about things that haven't happened yet
You could call it wishful thinking but it feels more depressed
And isn't it strange that when we write we always say love and never like?
As if some invisible strings have got our hands tied
Why can't my body catch your body
And keep you from losing your innocent mind?
And why can't this body live with itself
When being a lonely body ain't a crime?
And if I asked to talk to you
What would you even do?
Would you run away with the money in hand?
After all its not what you were paid for
And if my brother was here today
What the fuck would he say?
Would he be proud of what I've become
Would he hate me for the things I've done?
I keep writing songs that haven't happened yet
You could call it wishful thinking but it feels more depressed
And isn't it strange that when we write we always say love and never like?
Well I have a confession
I don't quite love you yet
But I like you something fierce
Why can't my body catch your body
And keep you from losing your innocent mind?
And why can't this body live with itself
When being a lonely body ain't a crime?
Why can't my body catch your body
And keep you from losing your innocent mind?
And why can't this body live with itself
When being a lonely body ain't a crime?
