Q&A
Me and Charlie Talkin' Lyrics
me and charlie boy used to go walkin'
sittin' in the woods behind my house
bein lovers meant i stole a kiss
and holdin' hands with nobody else around
charlie said he wanted to get married
we were only ten so we had to wait
said we'd never let our love run dry like
so many do these days
*chorus
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
and run like hell
toshow it off
oh papa says we made when we'd go walkin'
but thats just me and charlie talkin
charlie always said he'd like to leave here
he turned 18 and left our sleepy town
letters came and went and i kept waiting
for charlie to come back
and bring the life he found
its funny how time and distace change you
the road you take dont always lead you on
you can start a love with good intentions
and you'll look up and its gone
*chorus
now and then i sometimes think of charlie
how we thought we knew it all back then
now i'd give anything to feel love from a childs heart again
*chorus
la la la la la
la la la la la
sittin' in the woods behind my house
bein lovers meant i stole a kiss
and holdin' hands with nobody else around
charlie said he wanted to get married
we were only ten so we had to wait
said we'd never let our love run dry like
so many do these days
*chorus
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
and run like hell
toshow it off
oh papa says we made when we'd go walkin'
but thats just me and charlie talkin
he turned 18 and left our sleepy town
letters came and went and i kept waiting
for charlie to come back
and bring the life he found
its funny how time and distace change you
the road you take dont always lead you on
you can start a love with good intentions
and you'll look up and its gone
*chorus
now and then i sometimes think of charlie
how we thought we knew it all back then
now i'd give anything to feel love from a childs heart again
*chorus

This song is pretty good. Not as good as Kerosene, but good.
I think this song is sweet. Young love... aww, so cute! Her whole CD is amazing. There isn't a bad track on the whole thing!
This song is about falling in love when you're young. But young love normally doesn't last and "Charlie" moves away. She waits for him to come back for her, but he has moved on in more than one sense and he doesn't come back for her. And the chorus means when you find someone young you should try and hang on as long as possible, but soon you'll have to let go. And it's "when being lovers meant a stolen kiss" and also, "the promises we made when we'd go walkin'."
ahhh, young love! :)
