hell i can't shake this disease
yeah i fell in love under a tree
carving your name

and on these one night stands i always drink for two
yeah this beating heart is my steady proof
that i'm wishing you would have stayed

oh katy with a y do you ever cry
when it rains on west coast?
do you think of you and i, what it would've been like
if you only stayed close?
cause I do

so when you're playing shows and travelling so far
tell me katy where do you keep your heart
or do you drive too fast to care for such silly things?
cause i swear I can still hear your pretty laugh,
but tell me katy do you think could we last?
or would you lose me in the shuffle of your days?

cause i swear i would give you a standing ovation
if katy you'd just be complacent
and tell me what i want to hear

oh katy with a y do you ever cry
when it rains on west coast?
do you think of you and i,
what it would've been like
if you only stayed close?

do the constellations give you the space you need?
how do you get by on those lonely drives?
on all those lonely drives?

when your headlights stretch across the highway
(like a body across a bed)
when your tamborine jangles 'round
(like the worries in my head)
does it feel so good not to belong to any face or name?
do you think it's worth a try?

oh katy with a y do you ever cry
when it rains on east coast?
do you think of you and i, what it would've been like
if you only stayed close?

is there another boy with a handsome voice
to sing your pretty praise?
if i kissed your lips would you grant my wish
would you say you'd feel the same?

cause hell i can't shake this disease
yeah i fell in love under a tree
carving your name
