Katie

The Pettit Project

girl, where are you tonight? i see no reason why you aren't here with me, and i'm stuck here missing you. the offer's open all night, and for the rest of my life i want to be the one who wakes up next to you. i'll just convince myself that all the other boys who try to get with you aren't going to matter to you -- because you're waiting on me. katie i'm in love with you. girl, i figured it out. pack your bags because tonight we're leaving and we're never coming back. clear your mind of all doubt. we'll start our new life with the stars as our blankets, and the sand beneath our toes. and as we stare at the sunrise, we'll laugh at all our past relationships, and how we ended up here. and i'd share this plan with you, but every time i psych myself to call your house i realize you don't know i'm alive. if there's nothing i can say to make you turn and look my way, i'll still be in love with you -- katie, i'm in love with you. i see you at every show. i wonder if you'll ever know that i'm in love with you -- katie i'm in love with you

    I know you are real. That same voice tells me this. The same voice that tells me everyday not to ever give up.The same voice that tells me that my life won't always be like this. The same voice that tells me to stay strong. The same voice that tells me i will be rewarded one day. The same voice that tells me i am not worthless and useless. The same voice that tells me you are the one and you need me just as much as i need you. I love you Katie.

    haha i'm not the only freak! I'm a Katie (well actually a Kathryn but its too long to be in a song) so i did the search and found this song. In my case though it should be reversed. "every time i psych myself to call your house i realize you don't know i'm alive" yup so true...

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
