The Catalyst Lyrics by Abandoned Pools

Armed to the Teeth

2005

[Verse 1]
I am on your side
You light me up inside
You fill my eyes with stars
It doesn't get me very far

[Pre-Chorus]
Just look around
You don't need no fairy tale
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up

[Chorus]
But if there's something more than this
I'll meet you sucked inside a kiss
And if there's something more to this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
To space

[Verse 2]
I am on your side
You light me up inside
You fill my eyes with stars
It doesn't get us very far

[Pre-Chorus]
Just look around
You don't need no fairy tale
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up

[Chorus]
But if there's something more than this
I'll meet you sucked inside a kiss
And if there's something more to this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
Spotlights shining in
To space

[Verse 3]
Just look around
You don't need no government
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up

[Chorus]
But if there's something more than this
I'll meet you sucked inside a kiss
And if there's something more to this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
Spotlights shining in
To space
