Flashlight Lyrics
words can make you feel like feathers
but all my friends they know you better
i know, we all know, the same excuse
it does not make it true
it's dark down there
you need a flashlight
your artificial light will not do
i'm not looking for a fight
but you should see
a different point of view
before these words have lost their use
and we are talking like it's too late
is it too late?
(it was two years ago)
i can't handle the situation
if i can't figure out how to steer this
let's not speak of this ever again
and never again
as if it's in the past
because your lies all seem to match
but the truth is you're addicted
and your friends know
despite the lies
you swear to god they are true
don't talk about it now
don't you know that shit will kill you?
no, can't talk about it now
it's dark down there
you need a flashlight
yeah, it's so dark down there
you need a flashlight
yeah, it's so dark down there
gimme a flashlight
it's so dark down there
gimme a flashlight
you've lost control
and we won't save you
but all my friends they know you better
i know, we all know, the same excuse
it does not make it true
you need a flashlight
your artificial light will not do
i'm not looking for a fight
but you should see
a different point of view
before these words have lost their use
and we are talking like it's too late
is it too late?
(it was two years ago)
if i can't figure out how to steer this
let's not speak of this ever again
and never again
as if it's in the past
because your lies all seem to match
but the truth is you're addicted
and your friends know
despite the lies
you swear to god they are true
don't you know that shit will kill you?
no, can't talk about it now
you need a flashlight
yeah, it's so dark down there
you need a flashlight
yeah, it's so dark down there
gimme a flashlight
it's so dark down there
gimme a flashlight
and we won't save you

I still havent picked up the cd, but I just heard this song on the himynameismark podcast....VERY good song!
One of the catchier choruses from Punchline. Damn good song. I think this song is about an ex gf that lied, cheated etc until he broke up with her. And her personal friends are all trying to make her feel better and "right" about the breakup.
"and your friends know despite the lies you swear to god they are true"
the songs actually about the guitarist paul who left the band because he was addicted to heroine. "and we are talking like it's too late is it too late? (it was two years ago)" thats why Action was their last CD in 2004 since 37 everywhere
"but the truth is you're addicted and your friends know"
"don't talk about it now don't you know that shit will kill you?"
Anthony Raneri from Bayside also is in the song providing backup vocals
I love the song.. the chorus is just perfect
sublimehockey, I'm glad you cleared that up; I had a theory that it was about someone who was addicted to drugs.
yeah that swear word is a word for heroine
I was going to come on here and say i could hear Anthony from Bayside on it but someone beat me lol
good song
i am friends with people who know these guys and i have heard that this song has to do with one of the guys from the band the composure, another pittsburgh band, who was or still is addicted to heroin. it could be about paul but i have heard that its about the guy from the composure.
