Missy Higgins - Katie Lyrics






Katie was a little girl who said "I'll find a way".
Katie was a little girl who said "it'll be OK".
Then one day she found a little bit of something she used to drown.
She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me."

But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".

Katie was a little girl who never found the way.
Katie was a little girl who never was OK.
Cause one day she'd found that little bit of something she used to drown.
She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me."

But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".

She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me"...

But will you draw the line? Yeah, yeah
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
Yeah, will you draw the line? Yeah Yeah
And she said, "go".

And she said... "go".

  1. j.... a....

    My daughter (just back from school in New York), introduced me to this awesome woman .thank you ..thank you ..to you both.
    Not surprised to see Missys' admiration for Sarah Mc McLaughlin...
    Both bring a, spark of light to a often dismal palate of 'corporate music'...here in america..(theres).little recognition..unfortunately...
    I couldn't even get Shazam to recognize a song off of her amazing 1st album!..Listen also to Hope Sandoval and her 2 bands ..Also the amazing Frazey Ford/Be Good Tanyas/for that spark..of authenticity. Cheers from Minneapolis.

  2. J.... T....

    Pretty sure I'm not her demographic; this is just riveting. Rich. Evocative. Beautiful. Despairingly sad.

  3. T.... V....

    I noticed on the piano intro how you dropped three octaves on the sly👌🏼

    T.... V....

    So so deep...

  4. S.... G....

    Just brilliant

  5. a.... ....

    One of her best songs. First album is masterpiece.

  6. c.... ....

    Gosh what an incredible and beautifully written insight into the dilemma of drug addiction: those who suffer from the addiction believe it's all good and they're in contriol, whilst those closest to them and who care are pushed away.
    So if this is on Missy's first album, she must have writen it before she'd turned 21. Such wisdom and immense talent in one so young. An outstanding musician.

  7. p.... ....

    This song is one of my "safe places"! Thank you Missy!

  8. R.... ....

    I love this song so much. Reminds me of a girl I once knew..... Katie; wherever you are, you inspired me so much. I hope you're battling through your demons because girl, you didn't deserve to drown. I hope you'll find your way Katie. <3 I miss you.

  9. J.... C....

    Whatever it takes

  10. m.... ....

    Incredible talent. Since discovering her (thanks Pandora!), I have become obsessed with her music.

  11. s.... ....

    One person has had his/her soul ripped out. How can you hit dislike on this? Magnificent stuff.

    s.... ....

    Maybe the song takes them to a place they thought was well hidden, reawakening memories? The dislike doesn't always have to be a negative. Missy's music is emotive, and those emotions aren't always the ones we want.

  12. M.... J....

    As are you, mate, for putting these up! Cheers.

  13. B.... M....

If you happen to know her..."I love her"....no really...just kidding....just a little.....
