Catching Hints is a soulful and relatable track by Tate McRae, where she sings about a girl subtly giving hints to a boy she likes. Despite knowing he understands her gestures, he lacks the courage to make a move. This song perfectly captures the anticipation and frustration of unspoken feelings.
Verse 1:
I've been dropping clues, like breadcrumbs in the night
Hoping you would see, and maybe catch the light
You smile and laugh, but you never seem to stay
I can see it in your eyes, you feel the same but you're afraid
Pre-Chorus:
I've been waiting by the phone
Hoping you would call me home
But you're so scared to cross the lines
Can't you see it's in your eyes?
Chorus:
Boy, I know you're catching hints
But you never take the risks
We're dancing round the truth
So what've you got to lose?
Bridge:
And every glimmer, every glance
Like a secret second dance
But you never take the chance
Why can't you be more than just a friend?
Verse 2:
Every time we talk, you say the world to me
But when it gets too close, you always seem to flee
I know you feel it too, it's written on your face
But courage slips away, and we stay in the same place
Pre-Chorus:
I've been waiting by the phone
Hoping you would call me home
But you're so scared to cross the lines
Can't you see it's in your eyes?
Chorus:
Boy, I know you're catching hints
But you never take the risks
We're dancing round the truth
So what've you got to lose?
Bridge:
And every glimmer, every glance
Like a secret second dance
But you never take the chance
Why can't you be more than just a friend?
Chorus:
Boy, I know you're catching hints
But you never take the risks
We're dancing round the truth
So what've you got to lose?
Outro:
I've been dropping clues, like breadcrumbs in the night
Hoping you would see, and maybe catch the light
One day you'll be brave, one day you'll make a move
Till then I'll keep on waiting, cause boy I've got the proof
