Cover art for Flinch lyrics by Alanis Morissette

Its about that feeling we get whenever someone even mentions a great love/relationship that we have had. The guy had such a profound effect on her that the relationship they had still feels like it was yesterday. So for her even being in the same space (room, city) with him is too much.

"Soon I'll grow up And I won't even flinch at your name" my favorite line
