Flip Three Times

[Verse 1]
Phone lit up
Your name on the screen
Thought it was nothing
Just you calling me
My friend on the line
Her voice wasn’t right
She said “Are you sitting?”
My stomach got tight
[Pre-Chorus]
She said your car
Went off the side
Said it rolled and rolled
I went cold inside
I could hear my pulse
Louder than her words
Every worst-case scene
In my head occurred
[Chorus]
Flip three times
And you’re still here
I almost lost you
I tasted that fear
Thought of the jokes
We never would share
All of the days
You wouldn’t be there
Flip three times
But you survived
I’m holding you closer
’Cause you’re still alive
I didn’t know
How much you meant to me
Till the world spun out
At flip three times
[Verse 2]
Hospital hallway
Too bright
Too white
I counted the tiles
Just to pass the time
Saw your shoes in a bag
By your broken phone
Saw you trying to smile
“I’m okay
” you groaned
[Pre-Chorus]
You made a joke
I started to cry
You rolled your eyes
Said “Hey
I didn’t die”
But I saw glass
In your tangled hair
All I could think was
You’re here
You’re here
[Chorus]
Flip three times
And you’re still here
I almost lost you
I tasted that fear
Thought of the fights
Over nothing at all
How I’d regret
Every stupid call
Flip three times
But you survived
I’m holding you closer
’Cause you’re still alive
I didn’t know
How much you meant to me
Till the world spun out
At flip three times
[Bridge]
Now every drive
I watch the road
Send you a text
Just say “Get home” (get home)
You laugh it off
But you let me fuss
’Cause you were almost
Gone from us
[Chorus]
Flip three times
And you’re still here
I almost lost you
That night of the year
All of the love
I never had said
Poured out in tears
As I kissed your head
Flip three times
But you survived
I’m holding you closer
For the rest of my life
I didn’t know
How deep this goes in me
Till I almost lost
My Savannah at flip three times

pop, Emotional pop ballad with female vocals; soft piano and distant pads in the verse, heartbeat kick under pre-chorus; chorus swells with airy synths, subtle guitar, and stacked harmonies. First chorus cracks open with raw vulnerability, second chorus adds higher harmony and echo throws on key words. Intimate, close-mic vocal, then a wider, cinematic lift on the final hook, ending on a single held note and fading piano.
