Me And Charlie Talking lyrics

Me and Charlie boy used to go walkin`
Sittin in the woods behind my house
When being lovers meant a stolen kiss
And holding hands with nobody else around.
Charlie said he wanted to get married
But we were only 10 so we`d have to wait
He said we`d never let our love run dry
Like so many do these days.

So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine
for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
Runnin` like hell
to show it off
O,oh promises were made when we`d go walking
thats just me and Charlie talking

Charlie always said he`d like to leave here
Turned 18 and he left our sleepy town
Letters came and went and i kept waiting.
For Charlie to come back
And bring the life he`d found.
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
And then you`ll look up and its 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
Runnin` like hell
To show it off
O,oh promises were made when we`d go walking
Thats just me and Charlie talking.

Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
And how we thought we knew it all back then.
Now I`d give anything to feel the love
From a child`s heart again

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
Runnin` like hell
To show it off
O, oh promises were made when we`d go walking
Thats just me and Charlie
Me and Charlie talking
