lyrics

at Maria and Soren's one night
me and Katie on the back bed lied
she said I guess I'll learn to like
Sam instead of Josh alright
from Chicago I'd returned
an hour away, homesickness earned
in the city wanting her
to absorb, round the world learn

about the replication and how we can be like replicants
Sam:
if light of winter's tint loses spark of summer's glint

Katie will you be the replicent
with brittle bones smooth and unbent
deep aching rivers inside pent
you learned about in class that’s meant
to free your comforted fine mind
any fear you got unwind
of living just to pay the rent
Katie will you be the replicant

and map could be marked to measure
states explored and filling in

with push pins or the pen marks
making lines that descend

towards dreams of foreign countries
still without technology
that we're headed for while running out
of America to see

and remaining just a replicant, scared of sleeping in a dirty dent
punching out to vent, about where all the years went

Katie will you be the replicant
that might have flown but never left
and never got to see difference between the heart and head
and Katie I can't be the replicant
I know that you could see it then
I was lost and spinning 'rounf
searching trying to figure out
but I tried more than you could know
I saved it all to one day show
that it's possible to break free
and leave behind your teeange dreams
and I'll keep coming back for you
I'll be the voice inside of you
from the edge I'll pull you back
you'll hear this question asked
Katie will you be the replicant
always in your maker’s debt
and never knowing what I meant
Katie will you be the replicant
