Charlotte and Charlie

It's not the easy answer I know, I know And I'm sorry that I took you down this road But I'm going to do my best to get us home Haven't we known each other long enough now To get some kind of natural communication happening between us You hold on tight until you know I don't care if it's the truth, I just care if you let it go For the benefit of all the creatures in the world and all the other worlds Meet me here beneath the rusty tin in the middle of the orchard where our love began Meet me here beside the old oak tree in the northwest corner facing that familiar breeze Meet me here beside the fire pit or at least what still remains of it, bricks and bones As long as the promises we made were true Meet me here Charlotte I've made up my mind There's only a little bit of time Charlie I don't know, I'm all caught up in my bed I've got dreams you wouldn't believe I've got rhythms in my head Sometimes I feel so low that I don't even know How I'm going to swim my way up for air again And I can't take the risk of pulling you down Maybe I'll meet you someday when you're on the ground Leave my body far behind Gazing down at the California coastline I see a shooting star go bye The echoes of a window I painted as a child The whisper of a voice singing soft sweet goodbyes Meet me here above the dusty world in the visionary prison of my promises Meet me here so high above the trees with a view right through the window of my memories Leave me spinning in infinity living the only dream that was real to me As long as the promises we made were true Leave me here Charlotte I'm confused by the way you tell me You used to look me in the eyes and I was satisfied Who taught you to put blame on me You're not the only one who doesn't sleep at night Charlotte I don't know Charlotte I don't know Can I repair the things I said I've got holes in my boots I feel the springs in my bed I only say these words into the air So you can know the truest me Well it's only fair I'll fight for you with my last drop of life They can put me in the ground I will feel no pain I will feel no shame Meet me here beneath the rusty tin in the middle of the orchard where our love began Meet me here beside the old oak tree in the northwest corner facing that familiar breeze Meet me here beside the fire pit or at least what still remains of it, bricks and bones As long as the promises we made were true Meet me here
