Catch & Release Lyrics:
There’s a place I go to
Where no one knows me
It’s not lonely
It’s a necessary thing
It’s a place I made up
Find out what I’m made of
The nights I’ve stayed up
Counting stars and fighting sleep
Let it wash over me
I’m ready to lose my feet
Take me off to the place where one reveals life’s mystery
Steady on down the line
Lose every sense of time
Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
Day to day I’m blind to see
And find how far to go
Everybody got their reason
Everybody got their way
We’re just catching and releasing
What builds up throughout the day
It gets into your body
And it flows right through your blood
We can tell each other secrets
And remember how to love
Da da dum da dum dum dum
Da dum dum dum
Da dum dum

Story Context:
One morning Nasreddin left his house with 6 donkeys to go to the market. After a time, he got tired and got on to one of them. He counted the donkeys, and there were only five, so he got off and went to look for the sixth. He looked and looked but did not find it, so he went back to the donkeys and counted them again. This time there were six, so he got on to one of them again and they all started.

Catch & Release Lyrics:
It can be terrifying
To be slowly dying
Also, clarifying
We end where we begin
So let it wash over me
I’m ready to lose my feet
Take me off to the place where one reveals life’s mystery
Steady on down the line
Lose every sense of time
Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
Day to day I’m blind to see
And find how far to go
✏️(Part #4)
Story Context:
After a few minutes he counted the donkeys again, and there were only five! While he was counting again a friend of his passed, and Nasreddin said to him, 'I left my house with six donkeys; then I had five; then I had six again; and now I have only five! Look! One, two, three, four, five.'
'But Nasreddin, You are sitting on a donkey too! That is the sixth! And you are the seventh.'

Everybody got their reason
Everybody got their way
We’re just catching and releasing
What builds up throughout the day
It gets into your body
It flows right through your blood
We can tell each other secrets
And remember how to love
Da da dum da dum dum dum
Da dum dum dum
Da dum dum
Da da dum da dum dum dum
Da dum dum dum
Da dum dum
There’s a place I’m going
No one knows me
If I breathe real slowly
I let it out and let it in
It can be terrifying
To be slowly dying
Also, clarifying
We end where we begin
So let it wash over me
I’m ready to lose my feet
Take me off to the place where one reveals life’s mystery
Steady on down the line
Lose every sense of time
Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
Day to day I’m blind to see
And find how far to go
Everybody got their reason
Everybody got their way
We’re just catching and releasing
What builds up throughout the day
It gets into your body
It flows right through your blood

Da dum dum dum

Da da dum da dum dum dum
Da dum dum dum
