Lighthouse
Little To Nothing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some day you'll see me shine through
One day you'll let me guid you
There's always something in the water these days
I feel like this is the biggest mistake
Someday you'll let me shine through

I won't let you lead our hearts into the grave
Let's just let the lighthouse illuminate the way

You loose your thinking when the light's down low
You get impatient with no where to go
You loose your head and turn me inside out
I really hope that you are happy now

You know one day i'll love you
But right now that just isn't true
There's always something in my brain that's fighting
Water's rising, sun is stuck on the horizon
You know one day i'll love you

Right away i have to say i don't think it's enough
Fire away it's not too late i think we've had enough

You loose your thinking when the light's down low
You get impatient with no where to go
You loose your head and turn me inside out
I really hope that you are happy now
You loose your thinking when the light's down low
You get impatient with no where to go




You loose your head and turn me inside out
I really hope that you are happy now
