Flashlight - The Front Bottoms

Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room

So when I wake up feel like, «Yeah.

Everything’s alright.»

You are still here, you are still happy

You are still smiling and laughing

You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life

And it goes in in out through the mouth

Breathing exercises

I will never figure out

'Til I am running in circles

Or (I am) walking in circles

Or (I am) crawling in circles

Or lying on the ground

And I can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom

Yeah yeah

And I can see a flashlight cutting up the trees behind my house

(And I can see a flashlight)

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

She says a lot of the kids we graduated with are now homeless

Which puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people

If not every day then on an every other day basis

And she’s probably with a few of them right now

And they are probably just drinking and talking about

How she misses getting fucked up and hanging around

And he says «Hey you’re good at that"and she says «Thanks, it’s kind of all I

got,»

And then she looks away and says «It's also all I need.»

And I can smell plastic burning

I can smell chemicals breaking down

I got your last three e-mails

The ones where you said, «I was sorting some things out»

And he will be able to hear her dog whistle from his bedroom

Yeah yeah

And I can see a flashlight cutting up the trees behind my house

(And I can see a flashlight)

Yeah yeah

And I will read the flashing

Like a Morse Code explanation

That will mean nothing but take all night to figure out, out, out

(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room

So when I wake up feel like, «Yeah.

Everything’s alright.»)

When I am sad, I am sad, but when I’m happy, oh God I’m happy

There’s just no place in-between for us to meet

(You are still here, you are still happy, you are still smiling and laughing

You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life)

When I am sad, I am sad, but when I’m happy, oh God I am happy

There’s just no place in-between for us to meet

(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room

So when I wake up feel like, «Yeah.

Everything’s alright.»)

When I am sad, oh God I’m sad, but when I’m happy, I am happy

There’s just no place in-between for us to meet

(You are still here, you are still happy, you are still smiling and laughing

You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life)

When I am sad, oh God I am sad, but when I’m happy, I am happy

And there’s just no place in-between for us to meet
