Started as a joke song! An ex asked me to write her a song, and I said that I already did, called Killing Katie! I told her I was joking, but after our date I wrote this on the way home...

lyrics

Late night on the freeway
I'm driving to the sea
The only cars out this late
Are drunks and cops and me

I'm driving to forget her
Though we never were together
Id always hoped that
Maybe we might be

I'm killing Katie in my heart
Before we ever had a start
Before we ever had a chance to fall in love
And then drift apart
I'm killing Katie in my mind
Before she has a chance to find
I'm not running away
I'm just running out of time

Somebody once told be
You gotta take all you can get
But sometimes you are better off
Letting go instead

And sure I probably love her
But it would be cruel to tell her
And if its up to me she'll never ever know...
