Verse 1 It's been a quiet kind of night, just the jukebox and the rain Staring at the bottom of a glass full of maybe's again You smiled like you knew the way home even if I stayed lost But now the chairs are on the tables and it's time to pay the cost Pre-Chorus We were shelter from the drift, two shadows in the glow But every safe harbor still has tides that pull below Chorus We leave the light flashing, when we leave our lighthouse Even when the shore fades, the beam still knows the route Hearts don’t forget, just ‘cause the doors close down We leave the light flashing, when we leave our lighthouse Verse 2 Bartender’s sweeping memories into piles of dust and dreams You said "nothing lasts forever" but I hoped we might be the exception, maybe Your coat’s already on, my hand’s too slow to reach And outside the fog rolls in like secrets we couldn’t keep Pre-Chorus We were anchors in the drift, but anchors still let go No matter how deep we sank, we both still had to float Chorus We leave the light flashing, when we leave our lighthouse Even when the shore fades, the beam still knows the route Hearts don’t forget, just ‘cause the doors close down We leave the light flashing, when we leave our lighthouse Bridge It’s not goodbye, it’s just the dark between the days A signal in the mist, a path that never strays If you’re ever sailing blind, just look back my way The light’s still on, I swear it’ll stay Final Chorus We leave the light flashing, when we leave our lighthouse Even when the shore fades, the beam still knows the route No need to knock, the key’s still under that stone We leave the light flashing, so you’ll find your way home Outro Last call’s not the end, just another slow dawn We leave the light flashing… even after we’re gone
