  • There's blood on the side of the mountain
    There's writing all over the wall
    Shadows of us are still dancin'
    In every room and every hall
    There's snow fallin' over the city
    You thought that it would wash away
    The bitter taste of my fury
    And all of the messes you made
    Yeah, you think that you got away

    But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze
    My footsteps on the ground
    You'll see my face in every place
    But you can't catch me now
    Through wading grass, the months will pass
    You'll feel it all around
    I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere
    But you can't catch me now
    No, you can't catch me now

    Bet you thought I'd never do it
    Thought it'd go over my head
    I bet you figured I'd pass with the winter
    Be somethin' easy to forget
    Oh, you think I'm gone 'cause I left

    But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze
    My footsteps on the ground
    You'll see my face in every place
    But you can't catch me now
    Through wading grass, the months will pass
    You'll feel it all around
    I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere
    But you can't catch me now
    No, you can't catch me now

    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh

    You can't, you can't catch me now
    I'm comin' like a storm into your town
    You can't, you can't catch me now
    I'm higher than the hopes that you brought down
    You can't, you can't catch me now
    I'm comin' like a storm into your town
    You can't, you can't catch me now
    I'm higher than the hopes that you brought down
    You can't, you can't catch me now
    I'm comin' like a storm into your town
    You can't, you can't catch me now
    You can't, you can't, you can't

    There's blood on the side of the mountain
    It's turning a new shade of red
    Yeah, sometimes the fire you founded
    Don't burn the way you'd expect
    Yeah, you thought that this was the end Writer/s: Daniel Nigro, Olivia Rodrigo
