[Verse 1]
Got my sneakers on the shelf where we left our jokes (haha)
Dancing in my bedroom, spinning in your coat
We were taking selfies with the fairy lights
You said, “Don’t forget me,” like it meant the night
[Pre-Chorus – soft falsetto]
You’re floating in my mind like a carousel (ooh-woo)
Cotton candy dreams I know too well (yeah)
[Chorus]
Flashback candy hearts, popping in my memory (hey!)
Pink skies, midnight rides, playing on repeat
Sweet spark in the dark, you were glowing next to me
Oh, flashback candy hearts (yeah-yeah!), stuck in my memory
(Ad-lib: “Mmm, rewind that!” / “Let’s go!”)
[Verse 2]
We were jumping on the couch like a trampoline
Painting little stars on the window screen
Every little moment was a sugar rush
Even now I feel it when I think too much
[Pre-Chorus – falsetto harmonies]
You’re floating in my mind like a carousel (ah-ah-ah)
Bright like bubblegum, you always fell (woo!)
[Chorus]
Flashback candy hearts, popping in my memory (pop!)
Pink skies, midnight rides, playing on repeat
Sweet spark in the dark, you were glowing next to me
Oh, flashback candy hearts (yeah-yeah!), stuck in my memory
(Ad-lib: “So sweet!” / “Turn it up!”)
[Bridge – airy falsetto + chant]
(Ooh-ooh, ah-ah)
La-la-la, replay the moment
(Ooh-ooh, ah-ah)
Wish I could hold it (close!)
(Ooh-ooh, falsetto lift)
But it’s still right here in my mind tonight
[Final Chorus – with extra ad-libs + falsetto]
Flashback candy hearts, popping in my memory (hee-hee!)
Pink skies, midnight rides, playing on repeat
Sweet spark in the dark, you were glowing next to me
Oh, flashback candy hearts (yeah-yeah!), stuck in my memory
(Ad-libs: “Candy, candy!” / “Flashback baby!” / falsetto “Oooh-woo!”)
