The Flinch

Maybe next year is the line that you hear In the city I got stuck waiting For something to give, so tentative That mantra I just kept saying Everyone around this cold hard town Has a dream that they can't seem to quite run down Your car gets towed or you run out of road You learn how to fight but The Flinch just grows But I don't want to look back now Regret is like a street beat down It keeps you on your knees The ringing of that broken bell It always seems to cast a spell I know I flinched before I ain't flinching anymore She came along like one of those songs That you hear and you can't stop singing The Flinch started in like a phantom limb That broken bell's always ringing But I don't want to look back now Or waste a lyric about leaving town Her face is all I see, she's waiting by the sea The ringing of that broken bell It always seems to cast a spell I was young and I flinched before I ain't flinching anymore Always stuck in my own way Always falling down Her song's the home I want to stay It's like a brand new sound I don't want to look back now She's waiting by the sea The ringing of that broken bell It always seems to cast a spell I was young I flinched before I ain't flinching anymore I ain't flinching anymore I ain't flinching anymore I don't want to look back now I ain't flinching anymore
