Flashlight is a song about being in love with someone who has a serious problem with addiction, seemingly meth.

The more recent “Twin Size Mattress” describes a similar situation, and may be about the same… Read More [Verse 1: Brian Sella, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold]

Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you

And hang them in my room

So when I wake I’ll be 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

[Pre-Chorus: Brian Sella, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold]

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

[Chorus: Brian Sella, Adrienne Gold, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold]

And I…

Can hear your dog whistle

From my bedroom

Yeah, yeah

And I…

(I can see)

Can see a flashlight cuttin'

(A flash…)

Up the trees behind my house

(…Light)

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: Brian Sella, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold]

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 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”

[Pre-Chorus: Brian Sella]

And I can smell plastic burning

I can smell chemicals breaking down

I got your last three emails, the ones where you said

“I was sorting some things out”

[Chorus: Brian Sella, Adrienne Gold, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold]

And he will be able

To hear her dog whistle

From his bedroom

Yeah, yeah

And I…

(I can see)

Can see a flashlight cuttin'

(A flash…)

Up the trees behind my house

(…Light)

Yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Brian Sella]

And I will read the flashing

Like a Morse Code explanation

That will mean nothing

But take all night to figure out, out, out

[Outro: Brian Sella (right), Brian Sella (left), Adrienne Gold]

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

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

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

So when I wake up I’ll be like, “Yeah, everything’s alright”

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

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

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

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

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

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

I can smell plastic burning; I can smell chemicals breaking down

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

So when I wake up I’ll be like, “Yeah, everything’s alright”

I got your last three emails, the ones where you said…

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

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

I can smell plastic burning; I can smell chemicals breaking down

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

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

I got your last three emails, the ones where you said…
