Right now I feel - just like a leaf on a breeze
Who knows where it's blowin'
Who knows where it's goin'
###############################
I'm worried about Catherine. After what happened today with Eddie, I'm worried about her. I've haven't seen that fear in her eyes since Eddie moved out, and god knows it scared me to death too.
The minute I saw him with his hands on her, my mind went sideways. All I could think about was getting him off of her, make sure she was okay. Catherine disappeared before I could talk to her, reassure her that everything would be okay. That I would never let anyone hurt her while there is breath left in my body.
#########################
I find myself somewhere I - I never thought I'd be
Going round in circles
Thinking about you and me
How do I explain it when I don't know what to say
What do I do now - so much has changed
###########################
I glance into the car park and see that her car has gone. Getting into my car, I decide to go straight to her house. I want to make sure she's alright.
Actually, I know she's not alright. How could she be, after Eddie attacked her? I know that she thought she was past all that, that since Eddie wasn't living with her anymore, everything would be a lot better.
Well I don't trust him. And I never loved him like Cath did. So I want to make sure. Keep an eye on her.

Nothing I have ever known - has made me feel this way
Nothing I have ever seen - has made me want to stay
but here I am - ready for you
I'm turnin', I'm fallin' - I hear my home callin'
Hey - I've never felt somethin's so strong - oh no
I'ts like nothing I've ever known
###########################
I pull into her driveway, relieved to see that hers is the only car there. I can hear squeals of laughter from Lindsey inside, and am relieved that Eddie isn't there. I get out, walking up to the front door and knock a few times. It opens, to reveal a beautiful strawberry blonde, her blue eyes gazing into mine.
"Hey, Catherine. I'm here if you need me."
She looks back at me, a dazzling smile on her face. "Thanks, Gil. Come on in."
######################
Now you're the one I'm looking for
You're the one I need
You're the one that gives me - a reason to believe
Following a star - has lead to where you are
It feels so strong now - this can't be wrong now
