Lighthouse

Midnight calls but the silence stays Your voice still echoes in the hollow halls Half-drunk coffee left on the tray The steam draws circles like our old mall I trace the cracks in the ceiling paint Count the ways we could’ve bent but didn’t break One more step and the floor might cave But I’d still fall for you either way I’m a lighthouse in your storm You’re the tide that pulls me warm Even when the waves get rough Darling we’re still close enough I’m a lighthouse in your storm You’re the tide that pulls me warm Even when the waves get rough Darling we’re still close enough Your sweater smells like a summer’s end Threads unravel where your fingers gripped The TV hums some forgotten trend Static love songs on a broken script I trace the cracks in the ceiling paint Count the ways we could’ve bent but didn’t break One more step and the floor might cave But I’d still fall for you either way I’m a lighthouse in your storm You’re the tide that pulls me warm Even when the waves get rough Darling we’re still close enough I’m a lighthouse in your storm You’re the tide that pulls me warm Even when the waves get rough Darling we’re still close enough If distance writes our story now Let the ink bleed through somehow Every smudge a map we’ll follow Out of this shallow I’m a lighthouse in your storm You’re the tide that pulls me warm Even when the waves get rough Darling we’re still close enough I’m a lighthouse in your storm You’re the tide that pulls me warm Even when the waves get rough Darling we’re still close enough
