Charlotte's Web lyrics

I knew you barely twenty-two Riding high and winning big Had a six-pack and a six-string And a list of complexes You were young and you were gorgeous And you were scared of everything And so was I, so was I, so was I I knew you sitting like the big name On an indie movie set I knew you flinching from a spider But defending Charlotte's Web I knew you laughing and you crying And you messing with my head Oh, but I, oh but I, oh, but I I would've liked to see your future And what you've done with it I would've liked to see your brown eyes On some better woman's kids I would've liked to know you, baby And for you to have known me But shit happens, so now I guess I'll never meet The man that you turned out to be You might also like I would've liked to reminisce About things that only you would get There's a version of me dancing That lives only in your head We're the only two survivors Of that ship we went and wrecked Oh, and I, oh, and I, oh and I I would've liked to see your future And what you've done with it I would've liked to see your brown eyes On some stubborn fucking kids I would've liked to know you, baby And for you to have known me But shit happens, so now I guess I'll never meet The man that you turned out to be Heartbreak makes you angry Takes your vows and makes them threats I'll love you forever till you're buried Oh, but time helps you forgive And life helps you forget And now I can remember you, but barely I would've liked to tie our loose ends In some empty coffee shop Say: I was mad because I loved you Man, that's all this ever was I would've liked to drain the bad blood And swap apologies If you're listening and you want that too, I'm free But if you don't, well, here's a good luck from me To the man that you turned out to be
