The Upside - Charlie Lyrics

Charlie was born one day in June
And he was born singing a tune
The tune went "Lie la lie la lie la la la lie"
Charlie was born one day in June

To have him sleep wearing a smile
His mom would sing a lullaby
Along the lines of "Lie la lie la la la lie"
To have him sleep wearing a smile

Charlie was young and full of hopes
His life had only been high notes
High notes such as "La lie la lie la la la la lie"
Charlie was young and full of hopes

All that his friends would ever hear
All that they heard year after year
Was Charlie going "Lie la lie la la la la la lie"
All that his friends would ever hear

Until one day he found a boy
Who'd never heard a song of joy
So, Charlie tried "La la la lie la la la la lie"
Until one day he found a boy

The boy looked up
Then closed his eyes
His only song
Felt like a cry
So, Charlie kneeled
To hold his hand
Only to feel
His tune had changed
