White Flash

Maybe the years are behind us
Or maybe they're straight out in front
I walked out to find streets were crumbling
All signs pointed back to square one
I saw her there
With broken petals in her hair
That fell like leaves to the ground as she drew near
But her body was cold
Her skin white as snow
I blinked my tired eyes and then she disappeared
A white flash that looked more like a fantasy
To me felt like more a reality
A white flash that looked more like a fantasy
To me felt like more a reality
A reality

I woke up to find that I'm still tired
From grasping for straws in the deep
Afraid that the window was closing
I let myself float off into the breeze
She comes back in
And she's howling like the wind
A siren song with a luring melody
But I'm dying inside
To break through the tide
And go sailing off into the sea
A white flash that looked more like a fantasy
To me felt like more a reality
A white flash that looked more like a fantasy
To me felt like more a reality
And I can't believe it
I can't run just from it
I can't get over it
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way
Everybody knows a way home

Let's raise a glass
And knock one back
Forget about the past
Let's bury the hatchet
And not look back
Back
