Catch 22 Lyrics - Even Closer - Goapele

Nobody knows what I go through 

Indecisions made me passive 

They say I want my cake and I want to eat it too 

Less satisfied if I don't, consequences when I do 

These lessons, they lead me on my way 

but when company is tempting me, I'm turned around 

but I might want to go that way, 

don't want to go that way 

Well, it's a catch 22 

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do 

Yes, it's a catch 22 

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do 

How many times does it take to learn just one thing, 

'cause I keep ending up here 

And I'm not a scientist so I just keep on praying that I won't 

keep getting the same results each day 

I said that I can't be with you 

But when you turn away I pull back your hands to stay 

(your hands to stay) 

So many days turn to years 

that brought us here 

and we (shied) through time without too many tears 

But we still made decisions creating divisions 

So many contradictions, 

why didn't we listen? 

Well, it's a catch 22(catch 22) 

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do 

Yes, it's a catch 22 

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do 

( I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do) 

'Cause when I see you looking at her 

I can't stand it, my eyes can't conceive 

You gave her the smile you gave to me 

I love you selfishly 

I can feel so strongly 

Oh, how you (throw) me 

but still you know me 

Oh, you know me 

Yes, it's a catch 22, 

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do 

(damned if I do) 

Yes, it's a catch 22, (catch 22) 

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do 

(I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do) 

To hell with all the promises we made, 

the boundaries, the pain 

I don't care who's wrong or right 

Let's just ignore that tonight, I don't want to fight 

Where you lead me I'll follow 

I won't stress on tomorrow 

'cause I miss you like the moon misses the sky, 

the waves miss the sand, 

the leaves miss the breeze flowin' by 

So come to me easy, 

'cause I know you can please me 

But it's a catch 22....(repeat chorus til end)
