Charlie and Audrey end up talking all night long.
It is the easiest conversation Charlie has ever had. They keep surprising each-other with values, interests, and little quirks. The conversation is a constant flow.
They end up walking together after the venue closes, their chatter echos down deserted streets. They each share a surprising amount of personal information for two people who’ve just met.
In a perfect moment they both lean in and kiss. Charlie thinks he may have found what he was looking for.
When Charlie opens his eyes and realizes she’s gone, he looks at his phone in a panic.
5:23
It’s Thursday morning and Charlie realizes for all their talking, they never exchanged any information besides each-others first names. More importantly, he just fell backward another day, and she’ll have no idea who he is.
Lyrics:
It's like asking why do human beings cry. There's no real reason, the feelings invisible, but the impact is evident. I am out at sea, looking at hands which spell out 5:23. I can pinpoint the very moment you forgot about me.
Why does Charlie love Audrey?
Is it the way she make me see stupidly in the sky? Is it her smile, dangerous and rye? Is it her taste in books, tv and movies? Is it her badass nature? The way she don't need no one to save her? Of course, of course, it's all that and nothing, this magic random nonsense that makes me sing.
And now I'm falling again through time, and I'm running out of half assed rhymes, and as the blood red sun dips over the horizon, I got no way to find her, cuz she has truly disappeared.
