Echo
Al.Hy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Messages to myself
They make me feel connected
Less of me on the shelf
To keep from being corrected
You wrote me late in the middle of the night
I stayed up late
Waiting for
Every blink of the light

The times that you'd write to me
Think of me
That I was worth your effort to talk to me
You kept me waiting in the night
You kept me needing your flickering light

Echo Charlie won't my darling please come down
Won't come running
Won't come face the sound
Oh no
What could I do
Loving you
What could I do
Loving you
Needing you

Echo Charlie won't come calling
Please come down
Would it hurt me
If I turned around
Oh no
What could I do loving you
What could I do loving you
Leaving you

When I'd see you typing
Click click
There was hopeful light
In the lovesick mind
Of the child left behind
So unkind to keep someone so blind
When I'd see the light
In the middle of the night
In bed I'd wait up right
I'm staying up a fight
In dreams I'd see your eyes
Behind your face you'd hide
I saw it when you died, oh

Echo Charlie won't my darling please come down
Won't come running
Won't come face the sound
Oh no
What could I do
Loving you
What could I do
Loving you
Needing you

Echo Charlie won't come calling
Please come down
Would it hurt me
If I turned around
Oh no
What could I do loving you
What could I do loving you
Leaving you

Echo charlie
Echo charlie down
Echo charlie
Echo turn around
I know
I know
I know
I know

Echo charlie
Echo turn around
Echo charlie
Echo charlie down
I know
I know




I know
