How Did I Get Here?
How did I get here?And why the hell did it take this long?I buried a best friendInside my trash can you left outdoorsAnd you dropped me in the mailboxMy face-paint still left onAnd you accused I never loved youI could say nothing to change your mind
Charlie, Charlie, CharlieMy smile has become emptyHeard you've been looking for meCome on, kid, you know where I would goSee, lately, lately, lastlyI would love for you to ask meWhere the line between my pen and mind's at warAnd tell most the truth you know
My voice is a hatchetIt's forgotten how to whisper softMy mind is a bucketAnd it captures the rainSinking through the ceiling landing on the rooftopsYou told me you were filled up with loveI said, "You've lost it"You said a mess of errorsYou know not what it costs yetBut I know, I know, I know
Charlie, Charlie, CharlieMy smile has become lazyI heard you've been looking for meCome on, kid, you know where I would goSee, lately, lately, lastlyI would love for you to ask meWhere the line between my pen and mind's at warAnd tell most the truth you know
Said, "I've lost it all"I watched them burn all the pictures of good pain on the beachesAnd oh, if this is rock bottom, then I say, "Goddamn, the view from here is breathtaking"Oh, oh, oh
Charlie, Charlie, CharlieMy smile has become lazyI Heard you've been looking for meCome on, kid, you know where I would goSee, lately, lately, lastlyI would love for you to ask meWhere the line between my pen and mind's at warAnd tell most the truth you know
