Flash Light - Oddisee, ESTERE

When I was just a girl

I’d gather light bulbs

Piled high in my room

I’d sit and watch them glow

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

I’d count 'em, ninety-three

Before the fuses blew

It happened silently

broken blues

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

So now

I always sleep with a flashlight

Ever since I felt that

Look twice, the daylight

I’m the one on guard

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

I always sleep with a flashlight

Ever since I felt that

Look twice, the daylight

I’m the one on guard

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

Levels of sentimental

Were always top floor

My deals were residential

service cost me more

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

Those dark and dreary nights

Kept certain clichés

No matter how I tried

Those broken rooms kept burnin' red, gray

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

I always sleep with a flashlight

Ever since I felt that

Look twice, the daylight

I’m the one on guard

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

I always sleep with a flashlight

Ever since I felt that

Look twice, the daylight

I’m the one on guard

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

I ain’t scared of dyin', but I’m terrified of livin'

Give me more than one decision at a time and I’m trippin'

Runnin' to the hills like a mortified emmissions

I’d a' more than tried to listen if I’d missin', I’d a' more than had

Well, my attentions I don’t mention, keep 'em all aside

We’ll talk about it if what happened, it ain’t fortified

I learned a lesson, I was stressin' over guessin'

I never had an answer, but I’m never outta questions

Fear is a cancer and it’s really good at spreadin'

And I don’t had a cure, but I take a few suppressants

'Cause stay for the same way, it’s last night

Until I feel a difference, I’ma always pack a flashlight

I always sleep with a flashlight

Ever since I felt that

Look twice, the daylight

I’m the one on guard

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

I always sleep with a flashlight

Ever since I felt that

Look twice, the daylight

I’m the one on guard

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)

(Hey, hey-ey, hey-ey-ey)
