Lyrics:
And if you need to disappear,
You’ll have no reason to be sad at all
You’ll strike your own matches to logs
May catch an eye while you play sad and soft

And if you’re walking home alone,
You’ll find a reason, you’ll just chalk it up
To being different, being young
And wonder why no one knew you at all

Oooooh
You’re just playing dumb
What’s the cost of being loved?
When close is not close enough
Where’s your line? When do you draw?
When close is not close enough

And when you find you’re at the pier
Playing out moments when there was a touch
With strangers touching everywhere
You wonder if he knows she’s gonna run

Oooooh
It’s something you’ve done
Opened my hands, and I know I’ve shut some
When close is not close enough
Where’s the fun in it? And now I’m too tough
From close being just too much

[spaceesong]

it’s actually sickening how good this album is

[stray_thespacecat]

"when close is not close enough" girl that means, she gonna build a fourth album... amazing ✨🙏

[stalkingaccount]

"walking along the pier,
ships sail away from here
i wish i was a sailor,
curse out all the things that make me feel like im a failure"

"and when you find you're at the pier
playing out moments when there was a touch
with strangers touching everywhere
you wonder if he knows she's gonna run"

i guess the pier really does bring about thoughts like these

[Celticchamp]

She really got even better.She matured so much beautiful shit man

[caiofabar]

She really grew as an artist. you can see the dedication behind it and its cool to see how proud and happy she is of what has become of her music. definitely an instant favorite and lets hope for more Clairo in the future!

[Jamclon]

This album feels so intimate and healing. Thank you Claire for soundtracking the past 7 years ♥♥

[khizzard_]

This was my first Clairo album, one of the few albums I've listened to from the first song to the last, and without exaggerating loved them all. Thank you so much for free therapy, hun.

[matchaderen]

it’s been a privilege and such a pleasure growing up to your music claire, thank you for another amazing record <3

Charm arose from the sky in the apparent form of a falling arrow, which I confusedly watched advance slowly towards me; a tiny colorless dot woven between the clouds that reshaped into a sharp silvered line. As I blinked it coldly pierced my soul and time, attaching both to the surface of my summer. I’ve cried, danced, sang, laughed and stood in silence to each song. Not a single emotion that went through me has abandoned my everyday nature ever since; they instead exist warmly sheltered in the simple things in life.

[rainbobain]

i'm floored this song is so sling and so devastating i'm scared to even look at the lyrics because i know they'll just have be crashing out

[maryamxxxxx]

I’m in love with all of claires music theres just something to capture each emotion.

[Charwa]

Perfect closer to a perfect album, Claire really outdid herself with Charm; definitely a favorite of mine

[Verse 1]
And if you need to disappear
You'll have no reason to be sad at all
You'll strike your own matches to logs
May catch an eye while you play sad and soft

[Verse 2]
And if you're walking home alone
You'll find a reason, you'll just chalk it up
To being different, being young
And wonder why no one knew you at all

[Chorus]
Ooh
You're just playing dumb
What's the cost of it, of being loved?
When close is not close enough
Where's your line? When do you draw?
When close is not close enough
Mmm, mmm
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
And then you find you're at the pier
Playing out moments when there was a touch
With strangers touching everywhere
You wonder if he knows she's gonna run

[Chorus]
Ooh
It's something you've done
Opened my hands, and I know I've shut some
When close is not close enough (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Where's the fun in it? And now I'm too tough (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
From close being just too much
Mmm, mmm
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[claircotri]

Oh my god
Clairo absolutely matured with this album and made a 10/10 album

[J.U.N.N.I.P.E.R]

I'm on the verge on crying. This ablum is immaculate while sitting in the kitchen at night just staring into nothing

[indorianshell]

Literally reminds me of that one song she sang once in her older videos ("I wish I was a sailor"). I was 12 when I first heard her music and now I've graduated.
I'm so happy about the new direction she's going with ! ❤️

"And if you're walkin' home alone". It hits hard for me.
I'm 21, depressed, I go back in my natal town after failing fac. This is a ghostly city. It's nowhere and there's no one (expect young people of secondary school and highschool). I feel like dying in this place. I'm just not evoluing. I feel like a child stuck in his past because his scared to grow up and become an independant man who have to construct his own life by making his choice.
Freedom his kind of a torture when you are lost in your life.

So yeah, I stay at home all day, wacthing ytb or some others shit, fucking my teenage years by watching other people living, because I know when I hang out with my shadows on dark sunny summer days, there's only me on the street - hoping that I will crossed the way of someone - maybe a cute alone girl too - and that I'll have the balls to talk to her. But the reality is always different. I sees nobodies. And when I see some people, I become so fucking anxious and I just walk trough 'em like a fucking ghost - whitout saying a word.

So yeah, I'm walking home. Alone.

[alexandraarcena]

[eglios]
