I'm at the water's edge and I'm gearing closer
This is where I will be, where you can find me
My shadow's kissing secrets, my heart's in agony
I never meant to make you cry, love come back to me

Troubled boy I'll kiss you one
Last time and then say goodnight forever
But little girl, I'm not feeling well
These nights are long enough without you
Who sends letters through the mail
Stop it, keep calling my name

I'm fine left alone
Change the lies, you took the pictures of the wall
Stringing along like a beautiful love song

Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina

Now that I have you, may I use you as a muse
And keep you up all night
With trading stories of whispering love

All I want, all I need
All I want, is to be, ohh
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, ohh

I'm sending letters through the mail
Accepting cherries at the table
Change the locks, took the pictures of the wall
Stringing along like a beautiful love song
