A Song For Katie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know that you're not perfect Just like I know that I am wild I know that though were both grown up I still feel like a child inside And I wanna go out dancing now that the world's returned Cause Katie when you're dressed up well it's hard to find the words And if you looked into my soul And you told me what you see You'd say I see the mirror that you put in front of me Oh don't take me to the start No I want to go forward And baby if we part Katie if I hide Then I can live in your songs forever And you can live in mine [Chorus] Cause Katie when you sing to me It's like a melody Coming off the mountain Coming out the sea And stopping at the plains Up into a Memphis sky Katie stop the song now Stop before I cry [Verse 2] And you know they'll feed us fruit Right before they suck our blood While were face down in the sugar While they drag us through the mud And its hard to find the freedom That we feel when we're asleep Cause right now I am wide awake always stuck inside a dream And I know that you got secrets And you know I got them too Cause I've seen you ride a nightmare honey and you taught me how to shoot Oh remember when we met So dumb and so young You were still sucking on a bottle Like it was sucking on gods thumb But from stage you would take flight And whistle like a songbird While swaying in a blue dress You'd turn the crowd into a big mess Now Katie get the car And Katie grab the keys And drive yourself back south Until the air gets sweet And baby take a breath Put a puppy to your chest [Chorus] Cause Katie when you sing to me It's like a melody Coming off the mountain Coming out the sea Stopping at the plains Up into the Memphis sky Katie stop the song now Stop before I cry [Outro] You can get lost forever When your heart is a desert And you can lose your mind When its storming all the time But I wanna go out dancing Now that the world returned Cause Katie when you're dressed up Well its hard to find the words
