Lyrics:
Small kid in a small town
Lived with his head down
Good luck never came his way
Tragic in the making
A heart full of aching
Those thoughts never went away

And when all you’ve known is your own four walls and they get so close and it hurts cause you’re so afraid, so afraid

So he kept running ah running ah running ah running away

Charlie Brown
Hold tight we’re moving on
Keep that dream just a little bit longer
Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer

Charlie Brown
Hold tight we’re moving on
Keep that dream just a little bit longer
Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer

Clean shave and a tie on
He’s taking a ride on
A bus through town in a far off land
Still stuck in the dirt
There was nothing but hurt
Too bad that clothes don’t make a man
And you hold out hope
That you might belong Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown
Hold tight we’re moving on
Keep that dream just a little bit longer
Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer
Charlie Brown
Hold tight we’re moving on
Keep that dream just a little bit longer
Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer

Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer..ohh
Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer..ohh

he kept running away...ohh
running away…ohh

Charlie Brown
Hold tight we’re moving on
Keep that dream just a little bit longer
Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer
Charlie Brown
Hold tight we’re moving on
Keep that dream just a little bit longer
Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer

Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer
Hold tight, we’re moving on, keep that dream just a little bit longer

Fact: Alice Merton never releases a bad song! 💟

[michaelroy]

No other artist has such a perfect record for releasing nothing but absolute bangers. Love it!

[goujmark]

Alice has quickly become my go to artist. One of the few people that creates music I can listen to over and over and not get tired of listening to her songs. Side note, could you imagine being out to eat and random people coming up to you dancing up in your face like in the Charlie Brown music video?😳🤣😅

[gabiarbex]

Oh this song, my heart!! I have a little Charlie Brown inside of my head, don't we all? I guess we just need to keep our dreams just a little bit longer 💛 Love it love it love it, amazing job on the song, its production and also the music video. Super proud as I've always been.

[andreasdegendorfer]

No day without 'Charly Brown' ❤

[Ludo-]

Wow, starke Musik, super Clip, Bravo! 👏👏👏❤

[davidjennings]

I really like the way Alice often uses her videos to amplify and add dimension to her songs.

[mayru]

SHE NEVER DISAPPOINT, NEVER, this music video is so incredible, literally flawless, congratulations Alice, you are the best🔥❤️

[tillober]

Really like that guy who has to face this weird situation. The actor is playing him with some kind of grace: "Please people, let me suffer in silence. Don't take away my pain. It's the only thing I have."

[Qiuvox]

[hannahmarie]

[renavamp]

Alice always knows how to make music videos, I love the dance it just goes so well with the music

[tobiasrosenkranz]

Just one more video before going to bed. Now I see myself not going to bed for at least another hour repeatedly pressing on repeat...

I'm hooked...

[tillober]

Love Charlie Brown. Love Alice Merton. Love Alice Merton's "Charlie Brown". So everything is fine.

[bmbanimy]

Damn, Charlie's soul did running away when the people started getting all-touchy.

[DaCowGoMooo]

This song is such a banger! And along with the choreography it's just perfect!
And I just love how the lyrics tie in!
I can't wait to hear what's next!
Thank you Alice!
