"Charlie and Casey
Charlie and Casey in the morning
Placed together by Professor Wright
Little touches, pet names,
Losing hard at drinking games
Charlie and Casey through the night
Charlie and Casey in the summer
Tangled on a blanket in the park
Finding freckle constellations
Learning without conversation
Finding their way out in the dark
Say ooh...
Charlie and Casey on a Sunday
Pulling on a matching cap and gown
Slight smiles and proper handshakes
Trouble fitting into new shapes
Trying their best to settle down
Charlie keeps busy
Charlie keeps their things in order
Charlie makes sure that they don’t lose touch
Charlie marks their lives in
Sharpie circles on the calendar
Charlie doesn’t mind the struggle much
Charlie doesn’t know how it got here
When those certain feelings turned to doubt
Charlie thought those things happened to other people
But they’ve become those other people now
Say ooh...
Casey bought the tickets
Casey planned the weekend out
Something different somewhere else to go
Setting’s not the same
But the players haven’t changed
So they run the only scene they know
Casey couldn’t tell you how it got here
When those certain feelings turned to doubt
Casey thought those things happened to other people
But they’ve become those other people
They’ve become those other people
Just like all those other people now"

"Green of pasture, faces red
People on the ground, they're playing dead
As someone comes around to bless them off
They don’t know that I know that they’re
Gone
And I’m not
A floating ember
Gone
Don’t leave me
Green envy
Envy for the converted
Please take me
Let me not be deserted
Come turn me on
As earth turns on and on and on
Black of cloud, and white of light
The turning of a lock in the bolted sky
As a silver mote slips back behind a star
I don’t know if they know that they’re gone
Gone
And I’m just
A sack of leather
Gone
Don’t leave me
Green envy
Envy for the converted
Please take me
Let me not be deserted
Come turn me on
As earth turns on and on and on
Envy for the converted
Let me not be deserted
Come turn me on
As earth turns on and on and on
Come turn me on
As earth turns on and on and on and on"
