lyrics

Katie lays her arm
Across your knee
Leans her head on your shoulder and says
It's always seemed to me
The summers go so fast
It's like nothing's meant to last
Then she spits out her gum

Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer to her
She vanishes like a phantom in the darkening stars

Katie borrows my shirt
and says it looks better on her
I try to hide my pain
but I'm not a natural flirt
She gardens in the morning
Whispers to the trees
Voice like a muzzle of bees
She tells me her dreams

Never closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
She vanishes like a phantom in the darkening stars

Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer to her
She vanishes like a phantom in the darkening stars
