Flicker
Box fan blowin' we were throwing off the covers
Touch so hot had me sweatin' like a mother
Warned me 'bout girls with a silver spoon smile
Had to find out for myself
Sky blue sky wild Mississippi summer
Sweet as honey felt like thunder
Rolling across my one-track mind
Like a freight train fever dream five-alarm fire
I stood too close to the flame
I was burnin' up she was playin' games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain't tryna say that I still miss her
But every now and then that flame still flickers
Rolling 'round town in a drop-top Mercedes
King of Friday night when she was my baby
Bringing that heat parked down by the river
Everybody but me knew it wouldn't last forever
Sky blue sky wild Mississippi summer
Sweet as honey felt like thunder
I stood too close to the flame
I was burnin' up she was playin' games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain't tryna say that I still miss her
But every now and then that flame still flickers
Like a worn-out E on a motel signer
One last flick Bic butane lighter
Hit you deep bittersweet reminder
I stood too close to the flame
I was burnin' up she was playin' games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain't tryna say that I still miss her
But every now and then that flame still flickers
Flame still flickers
Oh, the flame still flickers
Touch so hot had me sweatin' like a mother
Warned me 'bout girls with a silver spoon smile
Had to find out for myself
Sky blue sky wild Mississippi summer
Sweet as honey felt like thunder
Rolling across my one-track mind
Like a freight train fever dream five-alarm fire
I stood too close to the flame
I was burnin' up she was playin' games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain't tryna say that I still miss her
But every now and then that flame still flickers
Rolling 'round town in a drop-top Mercedes
King of Friday night when she was my baby
Bringing that heat parked down by the river
Everybody but me knew it wouldn't last forever
Sky blue sky wild Mississippi summer
Sweet as honey felt like thunder
I stood too close to the flame
I was burnin' up she was playin' games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain't tryna say that I still miss her
But every now and then that flame still flickers
Like a worn-out E on a motel signer
One last flick Bic butane lighter
Hit you deep bittersweet reminder
I stood too close to the flame
I was burnin' up she was playin' games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain't tryna say that I still miss her
But every now and then that flame still flickers
Flame still flickers
Oh, the flame still flickers
