Flashlight, Hailee Steinfield lyrics

Bree, Jay- 16 ½

Let Me be Your Flashlight

"I don't know Bree. It's just upsetting I guess." Jay grunted over the phone, Bree's heart swelled with empathy, she knew how it felt to like someone that either they don't return the feelings or have to move away. Mulling over an idea in her mind the bubbly teen sighed and reached over, grabbing her headphones and plugging it into her phone, adjusting the mic slightly before blocking it to clear her throat and cough a few times. She could only hope that being sick wouldn't screw this up.

"When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
When Tomorrow comes" She sang into the mic, her voice a little scratchy but mostly decent, she started soft and increased her volume slightly as she went, attempting to convey her appreciation for him and how much he meant to her, she didn't want him to become a moping mess because Hadara left, she wanted her witty, curt, grumpy goof of a friend that he had always been to her. Jay already knew she could sing, after working together on one of Bree's originals that was a duet called "Rock Bottom," he was the featured male part of the song and because of that both of them knew that the other could sing.

"And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
Darkness all around, no hope that I won't fly
Then I sing along, I sing along, and I sing along,"She sang, settling more comfortably in her bean bag in her room, useless legs propped up on the ottoman next to the beanbag, hands behind her hand as she also attempted to relax and not go horse. Having a cold, she wasn't with Jay at medical training, which was why they were talking over the phone, she had felt guilty and taken it upon herself to make sure he was entertained.
"I got all I need when I got you and I,
'Cause I look around me, and see a sweet life!
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight,
You're getting me, getting me, through the night!
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life,
Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight!
You're getting me, getting me, through the night!
You're my flashlight!(flashlight)
You're my flashlight! (flashlight),

You're my flashlight!
Ooh…" Her throat was starting to burn as was her chest as she struggled to swallow the coughs and keep up the singing. The poster one one of her walls had a large light blue flashlight with the words, 'give these power and they'll light the way forever.' It was what gave her the spark to even start singing these lyrics that she was randomly coming up with.
"I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
But I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop.
'Cause you light the way,
You light the way,
You light the way,
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes,
Can't lie, it's a sweet life!
Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight,
You're getting me, getting me, through the night!
(Light, light, light, you're my flashlight)
Light, light, light and you can't deny

With you it's a sweet life, life, life
Oh…"She nearly stopped right there, her voice was dying on her, her throat was burning like it was on fire, her chest was also burning, and she was feeling just a tad dizzy. But she had to finish the song, Jay hadn't spoken at all yet, she could hear his breathing and hear the other medics talking, reassuring her they were still connected and nothing had glitched on them.
"I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight!
You're getting me, getting me, through the night!
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life!
Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight!
You're getting me, getting me through the night,
You're my flashlight!
You're my flashlight!
You're my flashlight!

Ooh

You're my flashlight,
You're my flashlight,
You're my flashlight ooh." She finished, blocked the mic and coughed violently, relieving the burn in her chest, reaching over and scooping up her water bottle she guzzled it and coughed again before listening as Jay spoke, his voice sounding touched and gentle.

"Thanks, Bree, why don't you get some water and maybe a tea or something? You sound like you're dying over there."

"Oh no!" She rasped horsely, her voice already starting to disappear, "I'm dying! Blegh!" She pretended to die and actually got a laugh from Jay.

"Don't really die alright? It's not good for your health… and I don't want to lose someone else."

"I'm just joking around," Bree reassured him, her voice getting raspier and more horse by the second. "I'm going to take your advice and get something warm to drink," She rasped, heaving herself into her wheelchair and starting out of her room and down the ramp that led to the first floor where the kitchen was.

"I'll come drop by later, don't talk too much till then alright? I want to hear about your blue bird's latest adventures."

"Can do Jay!" She rasped, pulling out a few things to make something to soothe her scratchy throat and hopefully return her dying voice.
