Flash

I remember every day of my life
I remember it so well I want to forget
Three empty bottles, we were speeding
It felt like the end of a movie
That flash keeps playing on repeat
Everything's too clear like in a spotlight
The Cooper crashed, I still hear the sound
Loud like death in a beautiful song

Bad memories come back like a theme
What the hell are you doing in my head right now?
This damn life crashes too often like a test
And I'm too proud to ask for even a little help

I watch my dad take a call
They tell him his buddy got shot
Taken down like in a cartel
Why am I remembering this now?
I finally know how to live with a heart on the mend
I listen to Elliott Smith at the front of the bus
The sound fits the images just right
It makes me smile like I’m not hurting so bad

Bad memories come back like a theme
What the hell are you doing in my head right now?
Ohohoh, ohohoh
This damn life crashes too often like
A test and I'm too proud to ask for even a little help

All I needed was tears to overflow the vase
You know how it is, love me until it hurts
Nothing new, just the pain
It was already fucked before we even got in sync
My darling, do me good until it hurts
It's the opposite of what I wouldn't find normal
