Me and Charlie boy used to go walking, 
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 we treat our love like a firefly, 
Like it only gets to shine for a little while 
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top 
And run like hell to show it off 
Oh promises we made when we'd go walking 
That's just me and Charlie talking 

Charlie always said he'd like to leave here, 
So he turned eighteen and he left our sleepy town 
Letters came and went and I kept waiting 
For Charlie to come back and bring the life he'd found 
It's 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 
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 and with holes in the top 
And run like hell to show it off 
Oh the promises we made when we'd go walking 
That's just me and Charlie talking 

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 firefly 
Like it only gets to shine for a little while 
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top 
And run like hell to show it off 
Oh,  promises we made when we'd go walking 
That's just me and Charlie, me and Charlie talking
