The Lighthouse
Alma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk through stars
And build a love that glides
Through storms we ran
But I slipped and fell behind
Take flight of this life
And let us sail these streets

I read your books

And stole what we could steal
We watch old films
And stayed up far too late
"If you could see
What I've seen with your eyes"

I bought you a lighthouse
For your finest hour
To guide you by seas and stars

I bought you a lighthouse
For your finest hour
To guide you by seas and stars

I bought you a lighthouse
For your finest hour
To guide you by seas and stars

I bought you a lighthouse

For your finest hour
To guide you by seas and stars

Line by Line Meaning

I walk through stars
I journey through life with confidence and hope

And build a love that glides
I create a love that flows smoothly and effortlessly

Through storms we ran
We faced challenges together and kept moving forward

But I slipped and fell behind
I stumbled and fell, leaving my partner ahead of me

Take flight of this life
Embrace the opportunities and adventures that life offers

And let us sail these streets
Let's explore the world and all it has to offer together

I read your books
I understand and appreciate who you are

And stole what we could steal
We took every opportunity to learn and grow together

We watch old films
We enjoy the classics and appreciate the history they represent

And stayed up far too late
We spent time together late into the night, lost in conversation

"If you could see What I've seen with your eyes"
I wish you could experience what I have experienced and feel what I feel
