Charlie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sky silver and gold
Or so I have been told
But we don't have the time to spend
Picture frames are breaking
Clocktower light shaking
Fallen time and time again
[Chorus]
Just sitting next to you was all I wanted to do
[Verse 2]
Staring at the sun 'til I see it when it's gone
Would you feel it if I held your arm?
Flower in your hand, born again through fire and sand
When the bulb burns out the glass stays warm
[Chorus]
Just getting old with you was all I wanted to do
Saying goodbye to you is something I can never do
[Post-Chorus]
But I can't hold you down, if you wanna go
How can I say no?
[Bridge 1]
Watch the garden rose as it blooms and grows
From your window throne sinking like a stone
[Bridge 2]
Letters saved for when we meet
Tell me all that you have seen
Mirror over your mouth
What do you dream about?
[Outro]
Quiet apartment, thinking you'll be home soon
And pounding head, making one out of two
Hair on the carpet, physical form of you
Living above the Earth and moon
I'll wear your ashes, carry a part of you
Around my neck, my arm for your tattoo
Healing old scratches are not the end of you
A flower grows July through June
And when you see it, how much is waiting for you
Beyond the stairs, as sure as stars above you
Tenderly freeing, I will always love you
You'll always be my baby blue
