A Catcher In The Rye

I sit and watch the kids as they’re playing in the yard
I think I’ve known from their age that being alone is hard
Sometimes I think that I have been a loner all these years
But I guess there is no use in self-pitying tears
I sit and watch my mind to see what I can find
I think I ve known from the start that sooner or later we’d part
Sometimes I think that I have been a looser all this time
But I guess there is no use in self-pitying rhymes
I’m falling down
Or maybe I’ve never been on the ground
I wish someone’d just pick me up
And we’d pretend we fly
And I wish like Holden Caulfield
There was a catcher in the rye
I sit and close my eyes to find out what I see
I think I’ve always known that when you fall you fall alone
Sometimes I think that I have been a lover all my days
But it has just turned out wrong in self-pitying ways
I’m falling down
Or maybe I’ve never been on the ground
I wish someone’d just pick me up
And we’d pretend we fly
And I wish like Holden Caulfield
There was a catcher in the rye
I wish like Holden Caulfield there was a catcher in the rye
I wish like Holden Caulfield ther was a catcher in the rye
