Charlie

I heard footsteps and you were right there in my room

We met through the song and we lived through the tune

You said lately I've been trying to live outside of the dream

But I never really knew what that was supposed to mean

Remember when we had an invisible band?

You played invisible bass guitar

I clutched invisible mic stand

We said we'd always float high

We'd always be free

But we never really knew what that was supposed to mean

I was standing on the lawn on that New Year's Eve

As your body washed up from the river you were covered in leaves

In My Life I would play on repeat

In the lot next to the park that you were buried beneath

When I got back home from The Lion's Den

I was fucked up on paint fumes, I was frayed, I was spent

On that Staten Island Ferry I was with you my friend

I see your face in the river

I am with you my friend

And the last time that I saw you was an empty room

You showed up halfway through the set and then you left with a tune

Now lately I've been trying to live outside of the dream

But I never really knew what that was supposed to mean

Yeah I never really knew what that was supposed to mean

Yeah I never really knew what that was supposed to mean
