Kate
"Really, it's a song that's just cute and adoring. I felt it was time
for a song like that from someone. From our generation. It's a crush song."
-Ben
She plays 'Wipeout' on the drums
the squirrels and the birds come
To gather 'round to sing the guitar
Oh I... have you got nothing to say
When all the words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden so the roses can see
Oh I... have you got nothing to say?
And you can see the daisies in her footsteps
Dandelions (dandelions)
Butterflies (butterflies)
I wanna be Kate
Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I want
She'severything I'm not
Oh I... have you got nothing to say?
She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks (and she speaks)
And she breathes (and she breathes)
I wanna be Kate
Down by Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagavad Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna see her so that I can say
'...Hey Kate!'
