Lyrics

Me and charlie boy used to go walkin'
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 you treat your 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 to show it off!
Oh! promises we made when we'd go walkin'..
That's just me and charlie talkin'

Charlie always said he'd like to leave here
Turned eighteen and 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 you treat your 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 to show it off!
Oh! the promises we made when we'd go walkin'..
That's just me and charlie talkin'

Now and then I sometimes think of charlie
How we thought we new it all back then
Now i'd give anything to feel love from a child's heart again!

So you treat your love like a fire fly
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 to show it off!
Oh! the promises we made when we'd go walkin'..
That's just me and charlie

Me and charlie talkin'..
