Flicker

Like a distant dream you recall in the mist,
You knew it once, but forgotten it since.
Glancing around for what you’ve misplaced,
You thought you saw it but you’re too busy in the race.

(Did you put your finger on it,
Did you blink and it had gone away.
On the tip of your tongue was it,
Though now it’s so far away.)

I do not hold the answer, don’t bother searching here,
I understand the feeling, when it almost becomes so clear.
You thought you knew it a moment ago, somehow it slipped away,
Waiting for you to sit and ponder, remember it another day.

(Chorus)

I know you see the answers, hidden in my eyes,
Listen when I tell you, ask no questions get no lies.
I don’t have what your looking for, I don’t know what it was,
Should you ever find it be sure to stop and give me a buzz.

(Chorus)
