Warning signs have led us straight overboard
And any sense of innocence that I had has sunk through the floor
Talking light to save the time, the air we consume is getting thin
Ocean wide, terrified, the lighthouse brings us to the end
And I can’t wear this coffee off
I’ve been struggling to sober, love
Shed weight to follow you home
I’m good on my feet, but I can’t see the coast
If shame worked, then maybe we’d float
Between the water and me, the only sedative I know
Is this lighthouse
Is this lighthouse
Time well spent, we barely pick up the phone
Young, bright, twenty-five them, someday it’s sixty alone
Broken wings, amphetamines, the things you’d delete if you could
Tongue-tied, baggy-eyed, I’ve probably drank more than I should
I can’t wear this coffee off
I’ve been struggling sober, love
Shed weight to follow you home
I’m good on my feet, but I can’t see the coast
If shame worked, then maybe we’d float
Between the water and me, the only sedative I know
Is this lighthouse
Is this lighthouse
