[Verse 1]
Maybe next year is the line that you hear,
In the city I got stuck waiting.
For something to give, so tentative,
That mantra I just keep saying.
Everyone around this cold hard town,
Has a dream that they can't seem to quite run down.
Your car gets towed or you run out of road,
You learn how to fight but The Flinch just grows.
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't want to look back now,
Regret is like a street beat down,
It keeps you on your knees.
[Chorus]
The ringing of that broken bell,
It always seems to cast a spell.
I know I flinched before,
I ain't flinching anymore.
[Verse 2]
She came along like one of those songs,
That you hear and you can't stop singing.
The Flinch started in like a phantom limb,
That broken bell's always ringing.
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't want to look back now,
Or waste a lyric about leaving town.
Her face is all I see,
She's waiting by the sea.
[Chorus]
The ringing of that broken bell,
It always seems to cast a spell.
I know I flinched before,
I ain't flinching anymore.
[Hook]
Always stuck in my own way,
Always falling down.
Her song's the home I want to stay,
It's like a brand new sound.
[Bridge]
I don't want to look back now,
I don't want to look back now.
[Outro}
The ringing of that broken bell,
It always seems to cast a spell.
I know I flinched before,
I ain't flinching anymore.
I ain't flinching anymore.
I ain't flinching anymore.
I ain't flinching anymore.
