Flash - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Flash, Mama's camera takes a picture for the Frigidaire door

By the scratch of that number two pencil growing north of the drawer

Fresh new pair of Payless shoes, last name on a backpack

Cosmic brownies, Elmer's glue, what happened to all that?

You blink and the minutes go missing

Try to hold on, but time keeps slipping

Grow a little bit and you learn life isn't all of what you think

It's a firework, it's a lightning strike

It's a Polaroid, it's black and white

You keep chugging along, but you'll always be looking back

It all goes by in a flash

That's what they called me when I was the home team running back

Cutting through the middle of the line with all of my speed

Middlе season, senior year, torе something in my knee

Twelve long years of shoulder pads and that was the end for me

Yeah, you blink and the minutes go missing

Try to hold on, but time keeps slipping

Grow a little bit and you learn life isn't all of what you think

It's a firework, it's a lightning strike

It's a Polaroid, it's black and white

You keep chugging along, but you'll always be looking back

It all goes by in a flash

It all goes by in a flash (Woo)

You meet a girl, you ask her dad

You buy a ring that she can flash

You have some kids and get old

Like that, everything becomes a flashback

You blink and the minutes go missing

Try to hold on, but time keeps slipping

Grow a little bit and you learn life isn't all of what you think

It's a firework, it's a lightning strike

It's a Polaroid, it's black and white

You keep chugging along, but you'll always be looking back

It all goes by in a flash
