Light House Lyrics

When I couldn't see you for the wall
What was that you said?
What was that you said, before you called?

And when I couldn't catch you for the fall
What was that you said?
What was that you said?

"Nothing hurts this much"

But I've seen the way
That bodies lie
And bodies tend to break

And I've been away
I've been away too long
Too long to be afraid

But you know
What you know is better
Is brighter

And you know
You know
What you know is better
Is brighter

And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park
You said to me:

"This is not you.
This is not you..
This is not you!"

But I've seen the way
That bodies lie
And bodies tend to break

And I've been away
I've been away too long
And I don't know a better place

But you know
What you know is better
Is brighter

And you know
You know
What you know is better
Is brighter

And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park

And this is where we are
In your bed, in my arms
Outside of me
In spite of, 'we'

I showed you the dark
And you said to me:

"You know
What you know is better
Is brighter"

"And you know, you know
What you know is better
Is brighter"

Cover art for Light House lyrics by Future Islands

I belive this song is a metaphor for a fail long distance relationship and he felt out of love and couldn't do much to help her so he stop the communication and when the time came for him to face her , he doesn't want to hurt her more yet he still doesn't feel anything and his love has faded and he admits that she does " know " love while he has never really allow love in to him and there's just hurt in his words and not hurt to him but to what he has done to her, as she is a real light house.
