Charlie speaks, she barely moves her mouth

Gotta listen close, or you′re gonna miss out

When you catch her, what you get is more than wordsShe'll open up your mind to a whole new world

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

It's cold, 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

When we take our Hawks 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

Look off to the side, shade our eyes, avert the sun

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

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

And it comes, 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 nest

And I like it the best

The best mess

'Cause your mess is the best

Oh, yes, yes

I know it has to end

We′ll just play pretend, pretend

Yeah, I think that's fine

′Cause you and I had a very nice time
