[Irishalpine]

That part where he goes, "CAN YOU CATCH ME WHEN I FALLLL" is gonna sound so good

[Bunny_ZY]

"IM IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA, OF WHO YOU ARE" Is definitely the best lyric

[Sarii-]

in the credits it says "Charley Yang" instead of "Boywithuke" Charley is evolving

[TheAngelBornInHell_]

1:48 Omg he screamed-
3:42 DAMN HES CRYING IT

[buq]

"Lost in the memories we don't have" is so real

[BoyWithGuitar]

It’s a perfect day when boywithuke does a video for genius ❤

[D.Fettuccine]

THE GUITAR SOLO HIT SOOO HARD!! ALSO I LOVED THE EMOTION IN HIS VOICE, ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE IMPERFECTIONS THAT SLIPPED THROUGH AS THE SONG GOT MORE INTENSE (idk why lol). So proud of ukey and can’t wait for burnout!❤️🔥

[atlas._.]

I just listened to this and the small voice cracks hurt. It sounds so genuine, and so sincere…it’s heartbreaking but it also sounds really good.

[aceitunaconanchoa]

The part that says "I SHOULD'VE TOLD YOU, WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE" goes fire 🔥🔥

[funerYT]

The fact he sounds almost the exact same tells you his true potential of his voice and vocals

[gagefouts]

charlie is so good that i can’t tell if he was trying to growl or if it was imperfect… but i lowkey love the growl either way

[Sarii-]

im still waiting for the premiere and i know this is gonna be fire
IT WAS FIRE

[HeyElii]

Every live version he does is undeniably good and thats a fact

[Orcato]

“Bro doesn’t need auto tune auto tune needs him”

All of the Charley Fan

[MrBrauza]

BRO IS WEARING ONLY SHORT AND T SHIRT STILL THE PERFERMONCE IS EMOTIONAL

[dxniluvsu]

i love how he sings with such raw emotion oml

[mr.thumbsup]

The BUILDUP in this song is actually insane and one of the best I've heard like, ever! It starts super melancholy and smooth, only for it to keep getting more intense and emotional, both vocally and musically, as the song goes on. Easily one of Boywithuke's best so far!!

[NitroDash]

Is it just me or isnt this better than the actual release. Like his vocals live is just perfect here. 🥰🥰

Lyrics

I should've told you when I had the chance
Lost in the memories we don't have
I wanted to hold you in hopeless romance
Mm, you fade like a ghost
I've been from London to Aberdeen (wow)
Inside a coupe and from it signed a private limousine (cool)
Do you think it really matters if I wear designer? (No)
'Cause I don't, if I don't have her, what's the point of finer things?
I'm ex nihilo, like Augustine (amen)
But I confess I haven't been the best internally (why not?)
I keep seeing two moons in my dreams (again?)
Can you tell me what they really mean?
I should've told you when I had the chance
Lost in the memories we don't have
I wanted to hold you in hopeless romance
Mm, you fade like a ghost
Can you catch me when I fall? (Fall)
I'm in love with the idea (idea)
Of who you are (I'm in love with a lie)
I tried to look the other way
But I'm lying to myself
I never wanted it to end
I had no other option
I had to find a way to leave before you walked in
At the end, the chase was all I really wanted
But it's too late for that, you give heart attacks
And I find it hard to sleep (It's hard to sleep)
'Cause I'm afraid of ghosts, and I can hear you talking
So perpetual, you show no sign of stopping (stop)
It's too late for that, can't you understand? (Ah)
I should've told you (told you, told you)
When I had the chance (I had the chance, I had the chance)
Lost in the memories we don't have (never had it, never have)
I wanted to hold you (holding onto hope)
In hopeless romance (hopeless romance)
Mm, you fade like a ghost (like a ghost, like a ghost)
You could at least just make it easy (easy)
You know I hate being so needy (needy)
Got my attention on a leash and I don't want it back
Unintentionally acting creepy (creepy)
In front of her, but she can't see me (can't see)
I think she thinks I'm on the spectrum, oh (oh)
I'm pretty sure she wants to leave (wants to leave)
And I don't blame her
