Me and Charlie Talking

[00:26.35] Me and Charlie boy used to go walking
[00:31.19] Sitting in the woods behind my house
[00:35.99] When being lovers meant a stolen kiss
[00:39.53] And holding hands with nobody else around
[00:45.56] Charlie said he wanted to get married
[00:50.00] But we were only ten, so we'd have to wait
[00:54.77] He said we'd never let our love run dry
[00:57.78] Like so many do these days
[01:01.51] So we treat our love like a firefly
[01:04.67] Like it only gets to shine for a little while
[01:11.70] Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
[01:14.95] And run like hell to show it off
[01:20.64] Oh, promises we made when we go walking
[01:25.05] That's just me and Charlie talking
[01:29.84]
[01:37.97] Charlie always said he'd like to leave here
[01:42.37] Turned eighteen and left our sleepy town
[01:47.44] Letters came and went and I kept waiting
[01:50.67] For Charlie to come back and bring the life he'd found
[01:57.07] It's funny how time and distance change you
[02:01.48] The road you take don't always lead you home
[02:06.53] You can start a love with good intentions
[02:09.23] Then you look up and it's gone
[02:13.38] So you treat our love like a firefly
[02:16.27] Like it only gets to shine but for a little while
[02:23.22] You catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
[02:26.68] And run like hell to show it off
[02:32.12] Oh, promises we made when we go walking
[02:36.76] That's just me and Charlie talking
[02:41.28]
[02:49.60] Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
[02:54.47] How we thought we knew it all back then
[02:59.23] Now I'd give anything to feel love from a child's heart again
[03:05.86] So you treat your love like a firefly
[03:08.66] Like it only gets to shine for a little while
[03:15.81] Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
[03:19.19] And running like hell to show it off
[03:24.93] Oh, promises we made when we go walking
[03:29.22] And that's just me and Charlie, me and Charlie talking
[03:37.17] La-la-la-la la-la
[03:41.82] La-la-la-la la-la, la, la
[03:45.53]
