"Lighthouse" lyrics
They're turning your house into a parking lot
One more outfitter store that only the tourists want
In the corner of town that just you and time forgot
I'll sit where your couch was, say go ahead and call the cops
Feeding the flightless birds on the pier
Hoping you might return to the fog 'round here
But I look out
At the wreckage of you
For as long as there's light
For as long as you last
I curse 'em all out
When they fuck up your story
I tell it the way that you told me
You were born with a face made for a "Missing" sign
But you had something misplaced that you'd spend your life tryna find
I still hear your name from some of the local guys
Said they always placed you for the leavin' type
But I look out
At the wreckage of you
For as long as there's light
For as long as you last
I curse 'em all out
When they fuck up your story
I tell it the way that you told me
I comb the lighthouse
And hope you're there in the morning
Burnin' your boat
Back to the ocean
One more outfitter store that only the tourists want
In the corner of town that just you and time forgot
I'll sit where your couch was, say go ahead and call the cops
Feeding the flightless birds on the pier
Hoping you might return to the fog 'round here
But I look out
At the wreckage of you
For as long as there's light
For as long as you last
I curse 'em all out
When they fuck up your story
I tell it the way that you told me
You were born with a face made for a "Missing" sign
But you had something misplaced that you'd spend your life tryna find
I still hear your name from some of the local guys
Said they always placed you for the leavin' type
But I look out
At the wreckage of you
For as long as there's light
For as long as you last
I curse 'em all out
When they fuck up your story
I tell it the way that you told me
I comb the lighthouse
And hope you're there in the morning
Burnin' your boat
Back to the ocean
