cat at my back door

about

i'm allergic to cats

this cat started coming around our house, and she would feed it, and let it in sometimes. i overreacted.

lyrics

whoah my love

tell me
why you got so mad last night
you screamed in my ear
i didn t know what i d done wrong
but now i hear

you said you would never forgive the things that i done
if you can t never forgive those things then how can we be one
how can we be one?

a stray cat came crawlin to our door
cryin at the moon
you let it in you let it in
one night too soon
that cat will come back again
it ll want some more from you and me
it ll keep comin around this way
if you keep lettin it in
i m not sayin i don t care about an animal dyin in the streets
but i just care about you and me
and about
that i can breathe
i just want to breathe
i just want to breathe free
and i can t do that with a cat at my back door
oh whoah

i wish i was not this way
i wish i could be like you
i wish i had the love in me for an animal
like you do
i wish i could be like that
but i can t
but i can t
am i lost
oh am i lost
oh

i hadn t seen you get so mad like that since we were younger
i hadn t seen your face get red and that voice like thunder
i hadn t seen your tears fall down with a bed all to yourself
i wanted to sleep downstairs but i came crawlin back
i just came crawlin back to you like a man on his knees
i didn t think that i was weak but i m sayin baby please

there s a wall between us its so high
it will always be like that
if we don t bring it down
with our hands and our hearts
it ll just get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger
