[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
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
