​​charlie lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here I return again, to my old place by the sea
See a stranger's curtains hang
By a sign that says "welcome home"
Victoria must've moved on
Craig lost his home of twenty-four years
Charlie the cat has been replaced
I guess that nothing ever lasts

[Verse 2]
Saw Leith play to a crowd
Everyone was quiet now
God, I really need to change
Turns out my dreams don't fade with age
Try to get back to a place
Of writing songs to change my fate
Pick a name to match my state
Stop living life in a given shape

[Chorus]
Forever
Tryna keep it in a jar
Drinking watеr at the bar
Making sure that it lasts
Forevеr
[Verse 3]
I left grandma's house in March
Thought I need to grow up fast
Thought that London would be mine
Now it sends a shiver through my spine
Guess I'm not a city girl
But the country's way too boring still
Hope that I will ever find
A place and people I call mine

[Verse 4]
And, maybe, growing up
Is seeing grandma stop to walk
It's learning people rarely change
And wishing places stayed the same
When I don't recognise a store
Or the new name tag by the door
I don't belong here anymore
I guess that nothing ever lasts

[Chorus]
Forever
Tryna keep it in a jar
Drinking water at the bar
Making sure that it lasts
Forever
And I'll stick it in a book
If I dare to, I will look
And I'll make it feel like
Forever
[Outro]
Mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm
And I'll make it feel like
Forever
Mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
