Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The water's rising, bringing on my darkest fears
mmmmm
I need a lighthouse, someone to guide my way
Oh, just wrap your arms around me, let me know I'm safe
Sometimes it's heavy, this life can be so cold
Sometimes I feel lost, can't seem to get back home
I need a compass, someone to guide my way
ooooooh
Oh, just wrap your arms around me, let me know I'm safe
Come on love, show me love, take this crying from my eyes
Come on love, show me love, I could use some tonight
All the daylight's fading, my hope is slippin' away
Oh, baby wrap your arms around me, let me know I'm safe
oohhh ooohhh ooohoooh mmmmmmm Yeah
Come on love, show me love, take this crying from my eyes
Come on love, show me love, I could use some tonight
All the daylight's fading, my hope is slippin' away
Oh, just wrap your arms around me, let me know I'm safe
Oh, please wrap your arms around me, let me know I'm safe
Let me know I'm safe
