Old Flame: The High School Diaries

Old Flame: The High School Diaries
Lyrics by: Charles

Sunny day, humid air
That's the first time I met you
In that room, on that seat
That's where we had our little talks
About me. About you.

My life changed because of you,
Now, I don't know how to live,
without you.

Chorus:
I never used to care about you,
back then.
Until an angel told me to.
Now I know why she smiled,
The day she sat and told me,
to love you.


It started with jokes and songs
Trying to get your attention
Then it dawned to me,
I need more than that to get you.
And I tried but I failed.

Somebody else took your heart.
Now I have to regret everyday, without you.

Chorus:
I never used to care about you,
back then.
Until an angel told me to.
Now I know why she smiled,
The day she sat and told me,
to love you.


But that person gave you up
Now I see a ray of light everytime
I see you smile, see you try
To get over it.
I think you should know

I'm here, for you. I promise you
I wanna give you back the favor, for teaching me how
To see the world in a new way.

Do You Remember?

Do You Remember?
Lyrics by: Charles

Eighty-four thousand heartbeats
A complete rotation of the Earth
Both a sunrise and a sunset

You no longer have yesterday
(It slipped away while you slept)
You do not yet have tomorrow
(You can't live tomorrow today)
But do you remember?

Chorus:

Do you remember our first talk,
Our first laughs.
Do you remember the way you sing and say my name.
Those were the days I'd trade anything for.
Those were the days I messed up and wanted to correct.


One thousand four hundred and forty minutes.
A circle of the sundial.
Two dozen flips of the hourglass

You no longer have yesterday
(It slipped away while you slept)
You do not yet have tomorrow
(You can't live tomorrow today)
But do you remember?

Chorus:

Do you remember our first talk,
Our first laughs.
Do you remember the way you sing and say my name.
Those were the days I'd trade anything for.
Those were the days I messed up and wanted to correct.
