lyrics

I'll wake up 24 and eyeing my coffee cup
a styrofoaming latte of love half empty and growing
stale in time out the door and dying from the chime
of an alarming clock that tocking lies bedside and denying

Charleston has been so good to me
and still I know I could love her honestly
but honestly my life will pass me by as I sit and wonder

why and how 30 now allotting time to figure out
how we cannot stand lying down like we used to when we stood
side by side 45 unknotting what we've tied
so Gordias and incongruous we adored us before we knew us

Charleston has been so good to me
but still I know I could have loved her honestly
but honestly my life will pass me by as I sit and wonder why
what if and pondering time
still I sit and wonder why 19 say goodbye
