lyrics

Katie, where are you?
Are you turning pages a lot?
Do you miss where you grew up?
Are you out there breaking hearts?
Katie, where are you?
Are you making some money?
Are you with somebody?
Do you live with your parents?
Katie, where are you?

Seems so far away
Memories fade to gray
I hope I'm not the only one digging through the past
Sometimes I look back
Nothing feels the same
Almost forgot your name
Oh no, you'd be embarrassed
You signed this letter "love"
Can you believe that?
Well, look at that
Katie, where are you?

Are you watching the sunrise?
Do you think of me sometimes?
Are you starting a family?
Katie, where are you?
Are you hating your body?
Are you wishing you were young?
Do you remember the letter you wrote me?
Saying, "How are you?"

Seems so far away
Memories fade to gray
I hope I'm not the only one digging through the past
Sometimes I look back
Nothing feels the same
Almost forgot your name
Oh no, you'd be embarrassed
You signed this letter "love"
Can you believe that?
Would you look at that
Katie, where are you?

Katie, where are you?
Do we stare at the same night sky?
Are you contemplating life?
Are you hungry or bleeding?
Katie, how are you?
Are you notching your bedpost up?
Or falling deep in love?
I found the letter you wrote me
Saying, "How are you?"
Are you seeing this big bright star?
Do you believe in something more?
I can still feel you breathing
Katie, I'm with you
Now, I know that it's all been lost
But you said you wanted me once
Just 'cause you were bored
(I'm probably just bored)
Katie, where are you?

Gone so far away
Everyone turns the page
I'm sure I'm still the only one dredging up the past
I always I do that
Everything has changed
Now you forgot my name
Oh no, I'm so embarrassed
I almost called you up
Can you believe that?
Well, would you look at that
Katie, how are you?

Now I know your favorite movie is Sleeping Beauty
