Written from Charlie's POV
lyrics
Do you remember the first time that we met
Do you remember the night that we were infinite
Do you remember when you cried into my shirt
Cause I do
And that first Christmas when I didn’t feel alone
And we had our first kiss the night that you weren’t coming home
At my first dance you were the only one I saw
I remember it
We are all just stories
Like words on a page
Life don’t stop for nobody
A sometimes things have to change
This is my life, this is now
I’m happy and sad and I don’t know how
But she is standing right in front of me
Tonight
And she’s so beautiful
I’m standing on the fringe with some new perspective
My life’s a photograph that is still developing
Jokes will become stories and stories can postpone
Tomorrow
And there was a time
When my old life
Wasn’t just memories
It was happening
CHORUS
For tonight I’m not a sad song
For tonight I’m alive and not alone
I’m standing up to see the lights
Everything is shining bright
I’m listening and watching
Whistling and falling
Falling so in love with my life
If only for tonight
