Me And Charlie Talking lyrics

Me and Charlie boy used to go walkin
Sittin in the woods behind my house
Being lovers meant a stolen kiss
and holding hands with nobody else around
Charlie said he wanted to get married
But we were only ten so we`d have to wait
Said we`d never let our love run dry
like so many do these days

So we treat our love like a fire fly
Like it only gets to shine
For a little while
Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
Run like hell
To show it off
The promises we made when we`d go walkin
Thats just me and Charlie talkin

Charlie always said he`d like to leave here
Turned eighteen and left our sleepy town
Letters came and went and I kept waiting
For Charlie to come back
And bring the life he`d found
It`s funny how time and distance change you
The road you take don`t always lead you home
You can start a love with good intentions
then you look up and it`s gone

So you treat your love like a fire fly
Like it only gets to shine
For a little while
Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
Run like hell
To show it off
The promises we made when we`d go walkin
Thats just me and Charlie talkin

Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
How we thought we knew it all back then
Now I`d give anything to feel love
from a child`s heart again

So you treat your love like a fire fly
Like it only gets to shine
For a little while
Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
Run like hell
To show it off
The promises we made when we`d go walkin
Thats just me and Charlie
Me and Charlie talkin

La la la la la la la
