Flashlight

Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you

And hang them in my room

So when I'll wake up I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's all right"

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

So I am running in circles or

Walking in circles or

Crawling in circles or

Lying on the ground

And I

Can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom

And I

Can see a flashlight cutting

Up the trees behind my house

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 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 gettin' fucked up and hangin' 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

And I

Can see a flashlight cutting

Up the trees behind my house

And I will read the flashing

Like a Morse code explanation

Though it'll mean nothing

But take all night to figure out, out, out

I am sad, I am sad

And I am happy, oh, God, I'm happy

There's just no place in between for us to meet

But I am sad, I am sad

But when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy

There's just no place in between for us to meet

When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad

But when I'm happy, I am happy

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

When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad

But when I'm happy, I am happy

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