A Song For Katie Lyrics by Kevin Morby

More Photographs (A Continuum)

[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
