Lighthouse (for Our Flag Means Death) Lyrics

When you went away

I wanted to hide

I wanted to dim the light that you turned on inside

I needed a warm room

To warm my bold heart

Cold from missing you

I watch the birds on my dressing gown

Desperate to lift me up

I keep them on the ground

They offer a serenade

But not today, I say

Sing me the blues

Where do I go when your light is behind me

What do I do when the darkness abounds

I wanna be with you now

I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you now

I wanna be with you

You were a wave and I was the sand

When I felt like a sea of grain

You showed me I was a man

I knew it was happening

Nothing but lightning could keep me from you

Where do I go now without you to guide me

What do I do now but run me aground

I wanna be with you now

I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you now

I wanna be with you

I feel my sorrow beside me

I feel it reach for my hand

Here in these waters

Miles from the land

I sing the song of the siren

Pull myself over the bow

Here in these waters

I wade to drown

I wanna be with you now

I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you now

I wanna be with you

While you're away

I'm gonna hide

I'm gonna dim the light that you turned on inside

But I've got a warm room

To warm my cold heart while I'm missing you
