“Catch” is the second single and second track from the Cure’s 1987 double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. It is an immediate sign of the eclectic nature of the album, with its poppy, lightweight sound contrasting significantly with the epic, noisy opener.

[Verse 1]
Yes, I know who you remind me of
A girl I think I used to know
Yes, I'd see her when the day got colder
On those days when it felt like snow
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You know I even think that she stared like you

And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But never even caught her name
[Outro]
Yes, I sometimes even tried to catch her
But I never even caught her name
