Flare Songtext
von Eli Gumble

Kicking back with you on a beach where there′s no sun
You underestimate yourself, I don't do this for just anyone
Verbal tennis like we′re courting like I'm putting you on trial
We discovered that you make me smile

The evening wore on as we sat and sang and laughed
As the tides approached, for some reason we built and boarded rafts
But the currents pulled me off and I got taken out so far
Now I'm drifting somewhere, struggling to get back to where you are
And that could take some time so for now I′m

Sending up a flare
Hoping someone finds me
Hoping someone′s there
Though the chance is tiny
I'm sending up a flare

I woke up in the sand on a far-off foreign shore
I saw a flare go up but never realised it was yours
I guess the currents had their plans for me, I guess we must be cursed
But I′ll make sure you're the first to know if it ever gets reversed
And that could take some time so for now I′m


Sending up a flare
Hoping someone finds me
Hoping someone's there
Though the chance is tiny
I′m sending up a flare
Hoping someone finds me
Hoping someone's there
Though the chance is tiny
I'm sending up a flare

When all is said and done, you′re drifting off
I′m the second one you're thinking of
It′s a weapon cutting, tearing me in two
I can't rescue you

I did all I could to be in your sights
I risked more than I should just to reach your heights
Now I′m falling, you've got somewhere else to be
You can′t rescue me

I can't rescue you (rescue you)
You can't rescue me (rescue me)
I can′t rescue you (rescue you)
You can′t rescue me


I can't rescue you, rescue
You can′t rescue me, rescue
I can't rescue you, rescue
You can′t rescue me, rescue
I can't rescue you, rescue
You can′t rescue me, rescue
I can't rescue you, rescue
You can't rescue me

Sending up a flare
Hoping someone finds me
Hoping someone′s there
Though the chance is tiny
I′m sending up a flare
Hoping someone finds me
Hoping someone's there
Though the chance is tiny

I can′t rescue you, rescue
You can't rescue me, rescue
I can′t rescue you, rescue
You can't rescue me, rescue
I can′t rescue you, rescue
You can't rescue me, rescue
I can't rescue you, rescue
You can′t rescue me

I can′t rescue you, rescue
You can't rescue me, rescue
I can′t rescue you, rescue
You can't rescue me
I′m sending up a flare
