The Catcher in the Rye Lyrics

It doesn't matter.
It all makes sense for all I know.
It's the same thing that has come that will go.
I tried to speak up
Most of the time I was muzzled by a joke
But inspiration took a break and I choked.
I said I'd give an eye for you
but that was just a lie.
I said I'd be the catcher in the rye for you
but that was just a lie.
I said I'd fight and die for you
but that was just a lie.
I said I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
but that was just a lie.
I just closed my eyes for you.
It's just a cycle.
Didn't we all find out long ago?
From Hemingway to The Crystals
from de Sade to Sade.
It doesn't matter.
It all makes sense for all I know.
Those starry eyes will glisten
till the waves reach the cove.
I said I'd give an eye for you
but that was just a lie.
I said I'd be the catcher in the rye for you
but that was just a lie.
I said I'd fight and die for you
but that was just a lie.
I said I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
but that was just a lie.
I just closed my eyes.
I only closed my eyes.
I just closed my eyes for you.
