| When Charlie speaks, she barely moves her mouth
|
| Gotta listen close, or you’re gonna miss out
|
| When you catch it, what you get is more than words
|
| She’ll open up your mind to a whole new world
|
| Never thought we’d have a chance to make it out
|
| Told a joke to cheer them up, and they’re all crying now
|
| Her mood is nice and easy like a breeze
|
| I like it when she presses close up on me in the heat
|
| It’s cool, and it’s nice
|
| And it feels so good to stay up all night
|
| Just to hear what she’ll say
|
| And her words stick like glue to the walls of my brain
|
| When we take our walks in the park, we run
|
| And it feels like it’s over before it’s begun
|
| When we’re done, we clarify it’s all for fun
|
| Then look off to the side, shade our eyes, avert the sun
|
| Never thought we’d have a chance to make it out
|
| Told a joke to cheer them up, and they’re all crying now
|
| I’d give her whatever that she needs
|
| I’ll sit patiently and I’ll wait for the day she leaves
|
| Come on Charlie, a little louder
|
| I say as I hear her singing out from the shower
|
| Come on Charlie, we all know that song
|
| It’s the sound of someone moving on
|
| And it calls, and it begs
|
| Like the movie in my head
|
| When you said your options were all fed
|
| So you left
|
| And the trail you left’s a mess
|
| But it’s your mess, and I like it the best
|
| The best mess
|
| Yes your mess is the best, oh, yes, yes
|
| And I know how this ends
|
| Cordial and kind we play pretend
|
| And in the end I think that’s fine
|
| 'Cause you and I had a very nice time |
