Lighthouse (for Our Flag Means Death)

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 around
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
