Lighthouse Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We met up at the lighthouse
While the early summer sun went down
We met up at the lighthouse
After work in a northern town
I knew I was leaving
You knew I was too
We both had our reasons
But the only one to stay was you
[Chorus]
And even if we could go back there
Would it even be the same?
Tell me, can you still remember
Headlights in the waves?
Maybe if your whole life changes
Or maybe when I fall apart
I’ll meet you at the lighthouse with whatever’s left
Left of my heart
[Verse 2]
We met up at the lighthouse
Brought some beer and a joint we shared
It was cold, but we didn’t care
We still kissed even though we were up in the air and
I don’t know anything anymore
Anyway, I hope that you’re good and I mean it
This isn’t anything anymore, anyway
That doesn’t mean I didn’t mean it
[Chorus]
And even if we could go back there
Would it even be the same?
Tell me, can you still remember
Headlights in the waves?
Maybe if your whole life changes
Or maybe when I fall apart
I’ll meet you at the lighthouse with whatever’s left
Left of my heart, yeah
[Bridge]
And I don’t know why, but I can’t help thinking
If one of us just woulda turned around
Tell me, do you think we’d end up different
I couldn’t then, but I see it now
We coulda been happy, woah
We coulda been happy
[Chorus]
And if we could go back there
Would it even be the same?
Tell me, can you still remember
Headlights in the waves?
Maybe if your whole life changes
Or maybe when I fall apart
I’ll meet you at the lighthouse with whatever’s left
Left of my heart, yeah
[Outro]
Whatever’s left of my heart
Life Lessons from this Song:
This song, “Lighthouse”, captures the bittersweet emotions of nostalgia, lost love, and the “what ifs” of life. Here are some life lessons we can take from this song:
1. Some moments are beautiful because they’re temporary – The song reflects on a fleeting, meaningful connection that couldn’t last. It reminds us to cherish moments, even if they don’t have a future.
2. You can love someone and still have to leave – Life takes people in different directions, and sometimes, love alone isn’t enough to keep two people together.
3. Regret and hindsight change our perspective – The bridge suggests that with time, we see things differently. We might recognize opportunities we missed or choices we could have made differently.
4. Memories can be both comforting and painful – The lighthouse becomes a symbol of a shared past, something to hold onto even when everything else has changed.
5. Sometimes, we don’t get closure – The song hints at unresolved emotions, showing that not every love story has a clear ending. We just carry the pieces with us.
6. People grow apart, but that doesn’t mean the love wasn’t real – Even if things don’t last, it doesn’t mean they weren’t meaningful or worth it.
It’s a song about longing, reflection, and accepting that some things just aren’t meant to be—while still holding onto the good memories.
