Me and Charlie boy used to go walking, 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 ten 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 and with holes in the top and run like hell to show it off
|
Oh promises we made when we'd go walkin', that's just me and Charlie talking
|
|
Charlie always said he'd like to leave here, so he turned eighteen 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 look up and it's gone
|
|
So we treat our love like a firefly like it only gets to shine for a little while
|
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top and run like hell to show it off
|
Oh the promises we made when we were walking that's just me and Charlie talking
|
|
Even now I sometimes think of Charlie and how we thought we new it all back then
|
Now I'd give anything to feel 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 and with holes in the top and run like hell to show it off
|
Oh the promises we made when we were walking that's just me and Charlie talking
