Catch You, Catch Me |

| There's
only one thing harder than writing Japanese lyrics in
English... and that's writing English lyrics in Japanese
songs in English. The chorus, featuring the "catch
you catch you, catch me catch me" and "nice to
meet you, good to see you" lines are just about as
removed from the song as you get. But they are also the
hooks, and if you take them out, fans will crucify you. I
managed the best I can, and a few spots did turn out
well. Just don't expect me to write the Nadesico theme anytime soon. |

Catch You, Catch Me
Can you see me? Can you free me? Can you be me? Can you see me cry?
Could I tell you? Should I tell you?
Every chance, I am letting pass me by.
One day, one day, we'll grow wings and we will fly away.
We're running round, off the ground, heart'll pound, happy sounds say:
Gonna Catch You Catch You Catch Me Catch Me some way!
Sun's out, the sky is clear- tell me what I want to hear.
That it's nice to meet you, good to see you someday!
None of this denying, now my thoughts are flying,
Into, into, into your heart!
They won't lose their way!
It's a long day. It's a long way. I'll be strong today. But I'm running low.
But when you're near, feel my mind clear.
And I am so inspired, fired up and all set to go.
Won't you please? Pretty please? Just smile once so that my heart's appeased.
We're happy friends, around the bend, until the end, then it'll extend to love.
When I Catch You Catch You Catch Me Catch Me some way!
Can it be destiny? Can it be for you and me?
When it's nice to meet you, good to see you someday!
Always gonna live up and I'm never gonna give up 'cause you're
Number one, number one, number one, to me!
Tell me I am yours!
Gonna Catch You Catch You Catch Me Catch Me some way!
Sun's out, the sky is clear- tell me what I want to hear.
That it's nice to meet you, good to see you someday!
None of this denying, now my thoughts are flying,
Into, into, into your heart!
They won't lose their way!
When I Catch You Catch You Catch Me Catch Me some way!
Can it be destiny? Can it be for you and me?
When it's nice to meet you, good to see you someday!
Always gonna live up and I'm never gonna give up 'cause you're
Number one, number one, number one, to me!
Tell me I am yours!
