You Flash Before My Eyes

Maybe you're not just a memory that keeps flashing before my eyes.

[Synthpad Transition]

[Male Baritone Vocalist,Reggae,Relaxing,Reflective]
[Verse 1]
Hey-ey, how you been?
Please know: You were almost purged from my mind (ey - ya)

Relegated, (oof)
to the bottom of the pile (ey!)

when ya suddenly jump out of nowhere (ey - hey!)
right into my view

flashing your striking smile (ya ya)
Before my eyes (oooh)
Impossible to ignore, but I still try

[Cheerful,Punk Rock Ska,Elated,Uplifting]
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I always know you're there (hi!)
I know every pixel of your body, face and even your hair

princess, we know how it goes
in the afterlife (oh — you mean hell!?)

pretending (we're pretendinnn)
not to notice each other (ah ah)

yeah I expertly divert my gaze away
away from the spotlight (ahhh)

that always seems to follow you around (ohhh - oh oh ah ah ya-ya!)

[Dub Echo FX]
[Laughter Pitch Dive]
Hahaha!

[Guitar Reverb,Reverse Cymbal Swell,Isolated Kick-In]

[Verse 3,Aggressive,Emotive,Rhythmic]
you're an endless source of inspiration and pain (ya - ya)
seared forever into my mind (ey - ey)

you instantly revive
the up-hill battle 
that leads down a one-way lane (that's insane!)

Sometimes I wish we'd never met
but then realize I'm glad we have

[Pre-Chorus]
Just a memory
I've tried to erase
but it's looking more and more
like I'll take you to the grave (ey ey!)

[Chorus]
Yeah you're a memory
more than a memoryyyyy
blinking in and out of existence
[Frustrated:] "Stop that dammit! Ugh!"

[Drop Fades,Reverb Tail,Metronome Kick]  
[Pitch-shifted Vocal Echo]
Ugh...ugh...ugh!

[Verse 4]
There's no way around you
You're the ex on my map

and I'm on autopilot
compelled to your stare (Here we go)

smiling back at me (ah ya ya!)
to set my mind ablaze (Woosh!)

even saying hello
in your own charming, unique way

with a voice that sounds like music to my ears
but every word you say feels hollow! (aww)

ya see, the sadness reflects in your eyes! (In your eyes, in your eyes!)

[Slowdown,Piano Hit,Tempo Alternates]
(Ohh, oh oh!) Aaaaah! (Ah-ah!)

[Organ Swell,Timpani Roll,Intensifies]

[Bridge,Emotive,Passionate]
These thoughts I've never got to share
Re-surfaced at your sight
here we go again
resuming this fight
to kick you out of my mind (yes you-hoooo!)

[Pre-Chorus,Anguish,Emotive,Key Change]
If only you were nothing
nothing more than a memory (Memoryyy)

[Chorus,Choir Harmony]
you're more than just a memory (a fleeting memoryyy-!)
flashing.. before.. my eyes! (aahh)

[Drop]

[Sharp Pause]

[Outro,Piano Orchestral,Slow Emotive,Orchestral,Minor Key]
You come and go in a flash
Leave your mark 
and disappear (bye bye now)
by now, I really don't know 
any better

yeah I see you in front of me
and when I blink..

..you're gone (gone - gone - gone!)
gone today, back tomorrow 
Letting opportunities go to waste
(still here - still gone)
