Lyrics Flashbacks Françoise Hardy

Flashbacks

Had enough
Of the right that we know when it's wrong
Of the good times to know when they're gone
Of the songs that remain to be sung
Living life care free and bannered in youth
Built on eternal debut
Neglecting and stretching the truth

Watching time slip away
And all its color fade to gray
What's been written in stone can't be erased

Looking back
We were so young and naive
To pretend growing up was impossible
Hell we thought it was optional
Now there's shadows
Where color found life in the past
And silence where voice had a chance
Left with questions that we'll never ask

We've let time slip away
And all its color fade to grayWhat's we've written in stone can't be erased
It's sad how life slips away
In the blink of an eye it's gone by
And the flashbacks are all that we managed to save

If we're lost
And can't find a way
To turn these embers back into a flame
Keep holding on

If we're lost
With nowhere to run
If the rush we've been chasing is gone
Keep holding on

We let time slip away
And watched its color fade to gray
But what we've written in stone can't be erased We saw how
life slips away
In the blink of an eye it's gone by
And the flashbacks are all that we managed to save

And the flashbacks are all that we managed to save
