Lighthouse
Drive Me To Juliet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1]

It's probably hard for you to notice that I exist
'Cause baby your heart belongs to someone else.
Now all I can do is wait and just be there, be right beside you
Even if it kills me seeing you, seeing you loving someone else.

When you cry a river, I'll build a bridge
When oceans roar and the storm gets strong I'll be your lighthouse
When you cry a river, we'll build a bridge
When oceans roar and the storm gets strong I'll be your lighthouse

Oh I'll be your lighthouse

See, I'd moved on when I know there's actually nothing there to hold on to.
Another night another dream wasted on you.
See, I'd moved on when I know there's actually nothing there to hold on to.
Another night another dream wasted on you, but it's all worth the risk.

When you cry a river, I'll build a bridge
When oceans roar and the storm gets strong I'll be your lighthouse
When you cry a river, we'll build a bridge
When oceans roar and the storm gets strong I'll be your lighthouse

Oh I'll be your lighthouse

And I don't know how long I could bear,
I'm waiting for nothing I'm waiting for something to happen.
And I'm not sure I could pretend any longer
I'm waiting for nothing I'm waiting for us to happen.

When you cry a river, I'll build a bridge
When oceans roar and the storm gets strong I'll be your lighthouse
When you cry a river, we'll build a bridge
When oceans roar and the storm gets strong I'll be your lighthouse





Oh I'll be your lighthouse to guide you back
