Lighthouse Lyrics

The lighthouse lost it's light
On her a long time ago
She got so used to it
This long and winding road

I'll never ever let you go

I can't believe
She whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe

This ship of fools sails west
By night time and by day
Circumnavigates her globe
Like a bullet gone astray

Come on home baby where it's safe

I can't believe
She whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna breathe

Even if you drink
From the chalice of cheap escape
And fade away

I'll never ever let you go

I can't believe
She whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe

I don't wanna breathe
She whispered to me
Now I can't believe
She whispered to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's about someone who has lost all hope, and gone off by herself either physically or mentally to try and work things out. Her friend/lover is saying to her "hey, I'm always here for you, no matter what. Don't forget that and go and do something stupid, because even if no one else does, I really do care about you."

This is one of my favorite songs from "Birds of Pray." That is a great take on the lyrics and I agree completely.

I love this song so much, one of my favorites by Live. It reminds me of this one girl I used to date.

Is the lyric really "from the chalice of cheap escape?" Knowing Ed, I was expecting the chalice to be named after some Indian religious deity or something. It does kinda sound like cheap escape, but I thought it was more like Chi Piesekape or something. LOL Great song.
