Lyrics
I claim to be moral
I claim to be humble
How can I claim someone
Who can never be claimed
I can climb the highest ridge
To claim a mountain
I can run the fastest mile
To claim a world record
I can track an uncharted starlight
And name it Monalee
I can find an ancient monument
And claim it for all to see
But how can I claim someone
Who can never be claimed
I stumble and fumble
Just to talk with you
I stumble and fumble
I can never catch you
You can't catch a rainbow
I could dive the deepest ocean
And claim a shipwreck
I could smash the laws of physics
To claim a new tech
I can buy a old country cottage
Where we can live in Maine
I could search the world over
Till there's nothing left to be claimed
But how can I claim someone
Who can never be claimed
I stumble and fumble
Just to talk with you
I stumble and fumble
I can never catch you
You can't catch a rainbow
I claim to be moral
I claim to be humble
How can I claim someone
Who can never be claimed
