"Charlie Chalk's" lyrics

"Charlie Chalk's"

He was sad at the back leaning back on an old red chair
By the window in a yellow room
She's reaching out for a pencil till run around the stencil
And scribble the markings of an "I love you"
But he'll be never the wiser when sitting beside her
Cause she'll turn away with an awkward grin
So now the flurry of eyelids and falling of silence
A battle till Kumbaya kicks in

And now the notepad's got no pages
The name on a pencil case starts fading

And time just slips away
Can we take it back to the moment when
Because I won't hesitate
I won't waste one second of those younger days
The times when we would talk
Cause I've loved you since Charlie Chalk's
And I'll never waste a second of
The time I'd get to spend with you again

She was up in the bathroom, the kids in the bedroom
When he's all alone, he's watching telly again
And as she slips on a black dress, the kind that should impress
A subtle kiss from a lipstick pass
But he'll be never the wiser while walking beside her
Cause she'll walk around with a subdued face
And now the rolling of eyeballs and staring at white walls
Are all they know in the time they waste

And now the notepad's got no pages
The name on a pencil case starts fading

And time just slips away
Can we take it back to the moment when
Because I won't hesitate
I won't waste one second of those younger days
The times when we would talk
Cause I've loved you since Charlie Chalk's
And I'll never waste a second of
The time I'd get to spend with you again
