For Katie Kimya Dawson

They can't be talking about me
This isn't real
How can I stop the nothing?
I'm just a little girl

Three thousand miles between most of your friends
And you wish they could meet they have so much in common
And you can't believe that you are in Portland
With your good friend from New York on vacation
The world it is shrinking, pathways intertwining
Some of it's planning
A lot of it's timing
Suddenly face to face with Jake and Jack
You ask them to sing you their songs back to back
Jack says "I'm alone but I'm not scared"
Then Jake says "I am alone but not afraid"

I wish I could be that brave
But the second person's always in the way
I tried to hide you
Where they couldn't find you
You were a baby and I was a little girl
They caught us and brought us back to their world
That's when i decided the only place I could hide
Was in the stories and dreams in the seams of my mind
I was so busy dreaming, running from demons
I didn't even hear you screaming
