Lantern in the Dark (versie 2)

Intro

Dust on the collarbone

Still running from the light of you

Verse

Bottle in my pocket, four a.m., corner store

Your laugh still stuck in static like it never left the wire

Pre-Chorus

And I'm trying not to let go but

Every mile is an echo of you

Chorus

Lantern in the dark, you're keeping me lit

Every step I take, it's your light that hits

Lantern in the dark, still carrying this flame

Burning brighter than I ever was alone

Verse

Coffee spilled on the sidewalk, shoe scuff on the stone

Still trying to remember how we turned into strangers

Still hearing every whisper through a speaker turned down low

Pre-Chorus

And I'm trying not to let go but

Every mile is an echo of you

Chorus

Lantern in the dark, you're keeping me lit

Every step I take, it's your light that hits

Lantern in the dark, still carrying this flame

Burning brighter than I ever was alone

Bridge

Maybe it wasn't love that left the room

Maybe it was just my own two feet trying to be some one

You kept the light on the porch like you knew I'd be coming home

Chorus

Lantern in the dark, you're keeping me lit

Every step I take, it's your light that hits

Lantern in the dark, still carrying this flame

Burning brighter than I ever was alone
