We’re caught in this silly game
of cat and mouse
you, the cat
and me, the mouse

It would be so easy
to be caught by you
to just give in
to what we feel

But the people we would hurt
make this game
not worth the heartache
or the pain

What if you’re just playing me
the way you play the game
so well, yet in the end
it’s just a game

Who would be hurt more
by the results
if reasoning and logic
gave way to basic animalistic instincts

Me, my breath caught
You, with those smoldering eyes

How we love this game
that I started for us
then you joined in
and the damage began

For how long we’ve played
I doubt I could stop now
but maybe just maybe
you’re just as caught as I am

Whatever the outcome
we’ll always have our sport.
