A Song For Katie

I know that you're not perfect

Just like I know 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 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

'Cause Katie when you sing to me

It's like a melody

Comin' off the mountain

Comin' out the sea

Stoppin' at the plains

Up into a Memphis sky

Katie, stop the song now

Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry

And you know they'll feed us fruit

Right before they suck our blood

While we're face down in the sugar

While they drag us through the mud

And it's 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 you've seen me 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 god's 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

'Til the air gets sweet
