A Song For Katie Songtext
von Kevin Morby

I know that you′re not perfect
Just like I know that I'm 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
Coming off the mountain
Coming out the sea

Stopping 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 were 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 see 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
And baby take a breath
Put a puppy to your chest

'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 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

You can get lost forever
When your heart is a desert
And you can lose your mind
When it's stormin′ all the time

But I wanna go out dancing
Now that the world returned
'Cause, Katie, when you′re dressed up, honey
Well, it's hard to find the words
