Lighthouse
Etherwood feat. Zara Kershaw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It′s a matter of wading water
Back to you
From night to day 'til morning
Comes through

I saw the waves
So won′t you be the one to guide or
Hideaway until we see the morning light
I saw it coming
You were flooding through the blinds

I don't know how you do it
But I've always known
You seem to be the lighthouse
To carry us home

I don′t know how you do it
But I always float
You seem to be the lighthouse
To carry us home

Like an avalanche, heavy in my hands
The cold I′ve been, numb to
It's a matter of days
′Cause there's a flame that′s only in you

I saw the waves
So won't you be the one to guide, or
Hideaway until we see the morning light
I saw it coming
You were flooding through the blinds

(I don′t know how you do it)

(I don't know how you do it)

I don't know how you do it
But I′ve always known
You seem to be the lighthouse
To carry us home

I don′t know how you do it
But I always float




You seem to be the lighthouse
To carry us home
