Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me, tell me, tell me
She said, "It's all a blur"
Catapult from the earth
Cannonballing back down
I've been waiting for what feels
Like all of my life
With a charlatan smile
He says, "I once had my doubts"
[PreChorus]
You're running lights
At traffic lights
Still sing in midnight choirs, no-oh
Your New Year's Eve
So sad to leave
You made it out alive
[Chorus]
But so what?
I never noticed
I was in the moment
I wish that I could stay
[Verse 2]
Tell me, tell me, tell me
She hung on every word
In her Saturn return
Under mushrooming clouds
I could never really
Be alone anyway
Tarot cards on the table
Candle wax on the ground
[PreChorus]
You're in-between
Awake, asleep
Still reeling from the flight, ah-huh
Your New Year's Eve
So sad to leave
You made it out alive
[Chorus]
But so what?
I never noticed
I was in the moment
I wish that I could stay
But no one
No one in focus
Charlotte, where you going?
Like it's the only way
[Instrumental]
But so what?
I never noticed
I was in the moment
I wish that I could stay
But no one
No one in focus
Charlotte, where you going?
Like it's the only way
