Lyrics The Front Bottoms

The Front Bottoms

Flashlight

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

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

She's 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 everyday 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

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 is 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
