Lighthouse
Owel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a pebble for you
And while I don′t think it will do
I'll find a billion more
Till we can stack them all up
And build us a place in the woods
From this day and billions more

Find me by the bay
Before the sun is down
At our lighthouse
There′s not much I could say
To show you just how
Lucky I have been
I love you oceans

We've both spent too many nights
Cheeks pressed against our phones
Wishing that you were home
A hand written note in a jar
For every day you were gone
I'd write a billion more

Find me in the crowd
At the marketplace
On a Saturday
There′s nothing I could say
To show you just how
Lucky I have been
I love you oceans

Ooh, ooh
I love you oceans
Ooh, ooh




(I love you oceans)
I love you oceans

The repetition of “billions” emphasizes the amount of love and care they possess for their significant other. The second verse captures the feeling of longing and waiting for their partner to return home. The singer creates a romantic image by talking about a handwritten note in a jar for every day that their partner was gone. The final verse talks about finding the singer in the crowd at the marketplace on a Saturday. The singer uses the image of a crowded market to show that amongst all the chaos and noise, they still seek out their partner. The usage of the word “oceans” at the end of each verse emphasizes the depth and vastness of their love.


The song is a beautiful expression of love and affection. Its lyrics capture the essence of a deep and meaningful connection between two individuals.

What did I do to deserve another amazing song from you guys?

Your music always feels like small reminders that people are still falling in love out there. Sometimes people need that sign of hope.

We swim in different oceans, but there's always a lighthouse to guide us back to the same shore. Some of those oceans are more empty than the others, but that leaves more room for the right person to fill it whole again.
