Flashlight - Jessie J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened up
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
In the dark I found, I stop and I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along, then I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light

I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not the 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 sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight

You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night




Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light

FLASHLIGHT LYRICS
When tomorrow comes I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of the things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes, tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

I know the road is long, now look up to the sky
And in the dark I found last hope that I won't fly
Then I sing along, I sing along
Then I sing along

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

I can't stop my heart when you're shining in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
My flashlight
You're my flashlight

I see the shadows low beneath the mountain top
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

I can't stop my heart when you're shining in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm 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)

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

I can't stop my heart when you're shining in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night

'Cause you're my flashlight
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
You're my flashlight, light, light
You're my flashlight, light, light
You're my flashlight
