Can I come in?

I'm so sorry.

- That was our first fight.

- I know.

Unless you count the time

you slapped me after prom.

Blake Rutherford? No.

That was like

a "slap back to reality" slap,

so it doesn't count.

I don't hate your baby.

- You don't?

- No.

I love your baby.

It's gonna be the cutest.

Oh, look at us...

just a couple of grown-ups

having babies.

Come here.

- I miss you.

- I miss you, too.

And I'm hungry.

I'm always hungry.

. And I don't know...

Let me think about it.

No.

No.

Way back then...

I understand.

I am done with moving

The wrong direction

You don't have to tell me

You don't have to tell me

How it's gonna end...

All day love songs coming right up.

We want to hear

your stories, folks,

as we jam out these love songs

all day long.

But they can only be told

if you call in,

so give us a call...

SSS-ROCK.

Hey, there, our first caller.

What's your name?

- Hello?

- Hello, there.

Yeah, um...

uh, this is Catherine.

And you have a love story

for us, Catherine?

Yes, I do.

Um... but you know,

um, it's more than that.

It's, um...

it's... it's kind of about...

um, music and Woodstock

and growth and then love.

Love is kind of the cherry

on top of my story.

Okay.

I... I think that I may

have pushed away

the only guy that I've ever...

loved...

the only guy who's ever made

just complete and total sense

and, um...

and my dad used to say

that love...

forever love was just all resistance

and pain at the beginning,

and I think that

we got through that, so we're good,

and he might be listening

to you right now.

And if he is,

I just want him to know

that he feels like family to me and...

we both don't have any, so...

Uh, I'm on my way home,

and if he could just forgive me

or chalk it up to...

I don't know, rough beginnings,

I would just be the happiest,

most in-love lady

from, I don't know,

Kingston to Woodstock.

Just setting it all up

so it comes to me if it wants to...

if he wants to.

And that's my story.

You acted crazy at my office.

Mr. Harmon got an earful.

I think he's still recovering.

I'm serious, Catherine.

After you left he complained

about heart palpitations

and told me about his first time.

Her name was Leslie.

She was blonde and plump

and had perfect lady parts.

I'm sorry.

So you're staying here, huh?

I remembered the point.

Oh, yeah?

Love is a battlefield.

- That's your point?

- Yeah.

That's your great,

big, epic point?

Look, can you just tell me

if you love me or not?

I know that's a lot to ask

of somebody.

I know that's a lot to ask

someone to be that clear,

but I just really need to know

the ending to this part of my story.

Are you kidding me?

I f***ing love the sh*t out of you.

Forever sex time?

You're a serious perv.

That's Noah Bernstein,

my husband.

He's a doctor.

He's really good.

And that's me, Catherine Brown,

the new me,

lives in Woodstock, New York.

The new me is signed

to a small Indie label

because she hates

the corporate music biz

and thinks that anyone

who takes it seriously

is a ridiculous person.

But this me...

This is so much more

than I could have hoped for.

The me that's finally living her life,

remembers what her dad

would always say,

"Never sell out.

Always put love first.

And if all else fails,

there's always Woodstock."

They're coming over on the wind

They're coming over

playing horns and violins

The saints and sinners

are all marching back in

To lead me on

Lead me on

I've been walking round

in a haze

I have wasted all my nights

and all my days

I've been lying to myself

I've been trying to be

someone else

It's so simple now

It's no secret how

Follow the river

Down to the sea

Where you're supposed to be

It's never easy

That's a fact

Nothing's for certain

You can't always take it back

On this sad romantic planet

You might make a pact

A promise to love

A promise to love

But you've got to learn

to love yourself

Then you can try to love

somebody e-e-e-lse

I've been trying

But it's hard

I've been playing

with some shaky cards

But it's so simple now

Once someone shows you how

I follow the river

Down to the sea

To where

you're supposed to be

Yeah, I follow the river

Follow the river

Back down to the sea

That's where

you're supposed to be. .
