Lighthouse
Tresor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take down your walls baby and let me in
In the darkness of my night you’re the lighthouse
Under water and still we are breathing
Pull me in while we fight off our demons

Nobody said this would be easy
I’ll live to fight another day for us
We belong baby don’t you go running
Nothing is lost let me in one more time

Come away with me oh my light
I’ll walk the the line
And give you time
Never leavin your side
I’ll keep you near through all seasons

Got me burnin' and turnin’ hey
Only if you knew how deep is my love
Tell me what’s hidden inside hey
And I will shield baby till we’re long gone

I see you’re fighting your heart is weeping
Creeping up between the lines
Memories are starting to crawl
Are you gonna come before nightfall
You remember I used to hold you
And lay in the sun laughing till our bodies hurt
Come along baby my heart is yearning
Nothing is lost let me in one more time

Come away with me oh my light
I’ll walk the the line
And give you time
Never leaving your side
I’ll keep you near through all seasons

Got me burnin' and turning hey
Only if you knew how deep is my love
Tell me what’s hidden inside hey
And I will shield baby till we’re long gone
Got me burnin' and turning hey
Only if you knew how deep is my love
Tell me what’s hidden inside hey
And I will shield baby till we’re long gone

You hear me calling
You keep your distance
You keep me coming
I keep on crawling
You hear me calling
You keep your distance
You give me something
I keep on crawling

Got me burnin' and turnin hey
Only if you knew how deep is my love
Tell me what’s hidden inside hey
And I will shield baby till we’re long gone
Got me burnin' and turnin hey
Only if you knew how deep is my love




Tell me what’s hidden inside hey
And I will shield baby till we’re long gone
