Katie Lyrics by All The Right Moves

When Your Compass Breaks

0

[Verse 1]
There’s no bullet proof vest
There’s no barbed wire fence
There’s no castle walls that could keep me from you
There’s no guards or gates
That could change my fate
‘
Cause I’ll push on through until I get to you
[Verse 2]
You can fire away with your cannons raised
You can sink my ships until I’m barely holding on
You can seize my ranks
And push me out onto a wooden plank
But I’ll escape and swim right back to you
[Chorus]
So Katie
You’re a simple girl
Try not to make this so hard
And Katie
You’re the one I need
But you keep trying to shake me off your sleeve
Katie
Katie
[Verse 3]
I will climb each rung that you have hung
I’ll untangle webs that you have spun
I’ll brave the darkest dungeons of your heart
You can slip away through fire escapes
And run off into hidden caves
But someday you’ll thank me for what I’ve done
Yeah someday you’ll realize that I am the one
[Chorus]
So Katie
You’re a simple girl
Try not to make this so hard
And Katie
You’re the one I need
But you keep trying to shake me off your sleeve
Katie
[Verse 4]
And even if your troops come in
Retrieve the flag and take the win
The flame inside my chest will not resign
You can tie a rope around my throat
And drop the plank until I choke
Your men will celebrate with beer and wine
But you’ll feel a sharp and sudden pain
As you watch my colors fade
[Chorus]
So Katie
You’re a simple girl
Try not to make this so hard
And Katie
You’re the one I need
But you keep trying to shake me off your sleeve
Katie
Katie
(Katie)
(Katie)
