[Verse 1] Five seconds flat And you’re gone again Door swings shut Like you never were in Your jacket’s left On the kitchen chair I stand there grinning Like I didn’t care You say “don’t start” With that half-smile But your eyes say “Stay a little while” [Pre-Chorus] And I know that look It’s a loaded spark You’re one step close Then you pull back hard [Chorus] Flicker in the bleachers Stay a little longer Flicker in the bleachers Make this heartbeat stronger Don’t turn out now Don’t turn out now Flicker in the bleachers Flicker in the bleachers [Verse 2] You steal my cap And wear it low Laugh like you’re Already out the door But when the crowd Gets too loud, too wild You find my hand Like a runaway child We talk in cuts We kiss in scraps Every little goodbye Keeps coming back [Pre-Chorus] And I know that look It’s a loaded spark You’re one step close Then you pull back hard [Chorus] Flicker in the bleachers Stay a little longer Flicker in the bleachers Make this heartbeat stronger Don’t turn out now Don’t turn out now Flicker in the bleachers Flicker in the bleachers [Bridge] [tape-stop] If you leave, leave slow If you stay, stay true I’m tired of almost I’m tired of you One more breath One more dare Meet me halfway If you’re really there [Final Chorus] Flicker in the bleachers Stay a little longer Flicker in the bleachers Make this heartbeat stronger Don’t turn out now Don’t turn out now Flicker in the bleachers Flicker in the bleachers
