"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"
