Lyrics
Description
(Verse 1)
In the quiet corners of my head,
An old sweater's warmth, a postcard thread,
Cracked vinyl turning, midnight city hum,
Your laugh in the doorway, the scent of rum.
(Pre-Chorus)
Small lights sketch the corners of the night,
I trace the map where your fingerprints write.
(Chorus)
Lantern of my soul, pull me to shore,
A amber flame I keep coming back for,
Glow through my bones, make the dark feel known,
Lantern of my soul, lead me home.
(Verse 2)
Heartbeats like subway drums beneath rain,
Coffee rings on photographs, half your name,
Colors bloom in the alley where we ran,
Your jacket on my shoulders, I understand.
(Pre-Chorus)
Streetlight stitches the silence into song,
I hum along to where I finally belong.
(Chorus)
Lantern of my soul, pull me to shore,
A amber flame I keep coming back for,
Glow through my bones, make the dark feel known,
Lantern of my soul, lead me home.
(Bridge)
I confess: I boxed my doubts and let them wait,
You splintered the frost and found me at the gate.
I traded all my maps for the way you hold,
A tender kind of brave that won’t let go.
(Chorus - Variation)
Lantern on the shore, name carved in light,
A steady hand in the hush of the night,
Glow through my bones, burn the edges cold,
Lantern of my soul, never let me fold.
(Outro)
Forever bound by a flame and the hush it keeps,
Your hush, my harbor, where the restless sleep,
Lantern of my soul — here, finally known,
Together, never alone.
