Slow Burn - Live at Inspired Word!

Performed at Parkside Lounge in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NY 2/14/23! Lyrics: Intro: (a la John Legend’s hook from “Ordinary People”) Take it slow, oh-oh This time we’ll take it slow Verse 1: That’s what I’d say to you Whenever you’re blue Whenever you’re displeased That I’m not more than a muse Whenever you feel attached To that voice screaming out of your chest You’re dying to know what happens next Chorus: You wanna set fire To gasoline Where there’s sparks and explosions left from the scene But I would rather let our fire start With a slow burn If you can handle the yearning Verse 2: You long for a kiss That feels like bliss That feels like a whisper Stroking your lips That feels like an answer you’ve been searching for years after years Until the right one has finally appeared Chorus: You wanna set fire To gasoline Where there’s sparks and explosions left from the scene But I would rather let our fire start With a slow burn If you can handle the yearning Bridge: And you think we’ll be Together Forever Happy ever after Ever Lasting Marriage hand in hand And this all sounds great This might just come true if you wait Chorus: But you’d rather set fire To gasoline Where there’s sparks and explosions left from the scene But I would rather let our fire start With a slow burn You wanna reach higher Til’ you’re at the top Where the action and fireworks never stop But I would rather let our fire start With no pressure With no fire alarms and buildings crashing down With no one hurt Outro: So let’s take it slow, oh-oh This time we’ll take it slow (2x) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottesessions/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlotte.sessions.161/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlotte-sessions-a5888a184/ Website: https://www.charlottesessions.net/

Morning Forever - Live at the KGB Open Mic!

Performed at the KGB Bar in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NY 12/5/22! Lyrics: Sometimes I wish it’s morning forever Sometimes I wish the skies stay blue And all the sweeter visions of the world come true Just as long as I’m with you Sometimes I wish it’s easy to stay awake And watch the calmer days unfold As we write all of our stories that have yet to be told So they’re not left in the unknown Ah ooo-ooo And the sun will never leave Ah ooo-ooo Throughout all the years where you and me will be together til’ the end Sometimes I wish there’s more time to see the world And roam the streets throughout the sphere Where the daylight’s never ending there’d be nothing to fear Just as long as you’re still near Ah ooo-ooo And the sun will never leave (And we’ll be growing like the trees) Ah ooo-ooo Throughout all the years where you and me will be together (have each other) til’ the end (2x) Sometimes I wish it’s morning forever Cause at night I feel alone and blue And all the sweeter visions of the world go poof Whenever I’m not with you I wish that I could stay with you Outro: I wish I don’t have to say goodnight To you and all of the heartbeats we share I wish I don’t have to say goodnight To you and all the excitement that’s there I wish we don’t have to say it at all I wish we could let our moment last (in the sun) I wish we don’t have to say goodnight I wish we don’t have to say goodbye When will I ever see you again?

Was it freeing? Did you feel it in your bones? Was it easy? Was it relieving? You can breath in All their screaming All alone you’re running through the woods where you’re covered by the trees Leaving behind all your footsteps trying not to make a mark Until hours later sirens crying setting traps so you won’t flee All the headlines popping on our TV screens, that’s when the fire starts Was it easy? Was it freeing? Did you feel it in your bones? Was it easy? Was it relieving? You are loathed in your new throne Was it easy? Was it freeing? Is this something you embrace? Was it relieving? Do you see it? Now the whole world knows your face The whole world knows your face What about all the innocent lives that you took away Empty bodies in streams of red left for display What about all the games you played To get your way Where people believed what you’d say Because you seemed like someone that they could trust What have they done to you? What have they done? What have they done to you To make the world alarm go off? What have they done to you? What have they done? What have they done to you To cause such fear among as all? What have they done to you? What have they done? What have they done to you To make the world alarm go off? What have they done to you? What have they done? What have they done to you To cause the human race to fall? You’re just an addition to the growing frauds You’re just an addition to our massive flaws All alone the world is shaking as your heart turns into stone

And I know I’m not perfect but I’ve always felt this way ‘bout driving And I just can’t imagine how I could be so okay if you’re gone I don’t know how I got permission from the DMV Cause they said I can drive, though I’d rather walk down the streets And all my friends are tired Of giving me a bunch of rides but I kinda feel sorry for them ‘Cause they’re wasting time getting stuck in a jam So I take a train through the suburbs And read a book til I am home at last And I know I’m not perfect but I’ve always felt this way ‘bout driving And I just can’t imagine how I could be so okay if you’re gone I don’t know how I got permission from the DMV Cause they said I can drive, though I’d rather walk down the streets Red lights, stop signs I still see myself driving past them, that’s when The police come chasin’, their crying sirens They know I just broke the law All the cats, I’ve ran I can hear their last meows, their rotting bodies Laid out on the roads For the birds to eat through All the flesh until it’s gone And I know I’m not perfect but I’ve always felt this way ‘bout driving And I just can’t imagine how I could be so okay if you’re gone I don’t know how I got permission from the DMV Cause they said I can drive, though I’d rather walk down the streets Yeah, they said I can drive, though I’d rather walk down the streets

The Kid in Town (Open Mic) - Charlotte Sessions

Charlotte performs an original called "The Kid in Town" at the Berklee Revelation Records Open Mic Night located at The Loft in 939 Boylston St, Boston, MA (4/19/22) The Kid in Town He is skating down the alleyway Going from Boston to Mars And he brought his dreams along Wishing someday he could touch the stars He wears his heart on his sleeve And a cross around his neck He prays to God everyday That special someone will be coming next And oh what a strange big world he’s in Where he knows nobody there He’s just floating in the air Where he’s waiting til he can catch your eye But instead you walk on by Cause to you he is just the kid in town Riding after school He is skating down your block That seems to go on for miles But he can’t tell which house is yours Cause he doesn’t see you leave your driveway So he searches through the streets Thinks you are hidden in the crowd But he can’t recognize your voice Amongst all the different clashing sounds (Chorus) He keeps trying and trying and trying again Cause he knows that you’re out there somewhere He keeps trying and trying and trying again Cause he knows you’ll come out when you’re ready He knows you’ll come out when you’re hungry for love You are hiding in your room Scared of going somewhere far You keep your dreams to yourself Wishing someday you could touch the stars And oh what a strange big world you’re in Where you know nobody there You’re just floating in the air Where you’re hoping that you can catch his eye But instead you walk on by Cause to you he is just the kid in town Hard to believe that it is true That he’s looking for you He’s falling for you That he’s looking for you He’s falling for you Someone’s in love with you
