At Last, A Lighthouse Lyrics

The truth is, I never let myself know,
Never let myself go.
And I've got to know whats outside of these windows.
There's just so much that I haven't seen.

It's magical how stars can stare straight back at wandering eyes,
and children all alike, wondering why?
Live life up and try, fulfill your dreams or they die,
how can you say it meant anything at all that night?
Well, here I'll stand
Here I'll stand.
That's more than anyone can.

Don't say it just can't be,
Cause it's happening to you and me,
I've realized all that this will ever be,
and it sounds just fine to me.
With the coats and the clothes yea, you knew it was right.
You were never one to look at the inside.
I just don't think we could fall that hard.

So take a picture of what it's like without me in your life.
Who really knows what it takes to get here?

Wake me up sweet sun, and show me just how far we've come.
Won't you show me how far we've come?

We see the roots take ground around our town,
We'll rise, we'll rise, we're fucking rising.
We see the roots take ground around our town,
We'll rise, we'll rise, we're fucking rising.

Don't say it just can't be,
Cause it's happening to you and me,
I've realized all that this will ever be,
and it sounds just fine to me.
With the coats and the clothes yea, you knew it was right.
You were never one to look at the inside.
I just don't think we could fall that hard.

Well I'm still breathing, but my head is lying on the ground.
On the ground, and I can feel the memories fade,
along with the dreams I never found.
Let this lighthouse lead me out,
Let this lighthouse lead me out.
memories fade,
along with the dreams I never found.
Let this lighthouse lead me out,
Let this lighthouse lead me out.

So take a picture of what it's like without me in your life.
Who really knows what it takes to get here?

Walk with me, walk with me angel.
Insecurities could drive us to do crazy, crazy things.
We have such hopeless hearts so give us strength
yea, give us everything.
On and on, on and on.

On and on the winter cold is dragging me away
On and on the winter cold is dragging me away.
Wait for us.
(we're locked here, locked in the distance)
Wait for us.
