Flicker Lyrics by Reid Haughton

Higher Than 9

2024

[Verse 1]
Box fan blowing, we were throwing off the covers
Touch so hot, had me sweating like a mother
Warned me 'bout girls with a silver spoon smile
Had to find out for myself
[Verse 2]
Sky-blue sky, wild Mississippi summer
Sweet as honey, felt like thunder
Rolling across my one-track mind
Like a freight train fever dream five-alarm fire
[Chorus]
I stood too close to the flame
I was burning up, she was playing games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain’t tryna say that I still miss her
But evеry now and then, that flame still flickers
[Verse 3]
Rolling 'round town in a drop-top Mеrcedes
King of Friday night when she was my baby
Bringing that heat parked down by the river
Everybody but me knew it wouldn't last forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Sky-blue sky, wild Mississippi summer
Sweet as honey, felt like thunder
[Chorus]
I stood too close to the flame
I was burning up, she was playing games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain’t tryna say that I still miss her
But every now and then, that flame still flickers
[Bridge]
Like a worn-out E on a motel sign-er
One-last-flick Bic butane lighter
Hit-you-deep bittersweet reminder
[Chorus]
I stood too close to the flame
I was burning up, she was playing games
Holding onto her was like holding smoke
She lit me up and let me go
I ain't tryna say that I still miss her
But every now and then, that flame still flickers
[Outro]
The flame still flickers
Oh, the flame still flickers
