Lyrics

Drivin’ through the desert feeling brave
A flash upon the sand, and your face turns pale

You were striving
Then you were steaming
No matter where, it all comes back

Burnin’ hot
Back through your brain
You only saw that image once, and now it stays

Searchin’ the way back from where it came
And as the answers start to come, you start to shake

And how you want it
And how you need it
But can’t stand the heat it brings

You know it’s right
You need a change
You only saw that image once, and now it stays

She calls you on the phone, you let it ring
You know she’ll never buy what you say

like the others
how she needs
but never knows a goddamned thing

And in her every word
Now you see that face
You only saw that image once, and now it stays

With guitar in hand, you took the stage
A flash among the crowd, and your face turned pale

And you were rockin’
Then you were reelin’
How music gives and music takes

No matter where you are
Can’t get away
You only saw that image once, and now it stays
