Lighthouse
Kiko A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw you mentioned on the internet
And then I lay down on the floor
And my heart bled with yours
Over and over again
You knew me in ways I can't explain
Became the anchor on my heart when it was floating away
And now I'm tied to you
Over and over again
You're my trigger in a good way
You're my lighthouse when it storms
I wanna keep you tucked inside my brain
The way a grave will keep my bones
In a hundred years, far away from here
Where the ocean is violet but the skies are clear
I hope a little girl sees you framed and knows my soul
If I can't leave a legacy yours will do
I won't live forever but I think that you were meant to
You somehow paint the walls of rooms you've never been in
Reflect me back without a mirror or a screen
You're my trigger in a good way
You're my lighthouse when it storms
I wanna keep you tucked inside my brain
The way a grave will keep my bones
In a hundred years, far away from here
Where the ocean is violet but the skies are clear
I hope a little girl sees you framed and knows my soul
