lyrics

I see it all from the lighthouse
The little lives floating below roll in and out
I shine my light for you when you're in doubt
Would you believe I can guide you through the clouds

When you're lost and alone and cold settles in
I'd love to take you to the place you've never been
When you cry in your hands I can hear you
Scream in your head trying to wish away all your sin
I'd love to be your king and show you the way home
Back from the seas, in from the cold
When you're ready to kill the hate in the eyes
Say the word, say it loud, say love, say never die

But you don't want me on the switch in the mood I'm in
You don't want me on

I am outside the walls you're living in
Maybe there's more than the prison you've put yourself in
But I hear the cheers of a sinking crowd
Could be a sailor is better remembered for running aground

When you're lost and alone and cold settles in
I'd love to take you to the place you've never been
When you cry in your hands I can hear you
Scream in your head trying to wish away all your sin
I'd love to be your king and show you the way home
Back from the seas, in from the cold
When you're ready to kill the hate in the eyes
Say the word, say it loud, say love, say never die

But you don't want me on the switch
in the mood I'm in, you don't want me on
