We swam to the lighthouse|Waves around us|Kept my head above them|I thought you were shelter|Warmth in a rainstorm|Held my heart in your hands|Now I now I|I see the light||Why you keep my hanging on?|You keep me hanging on by a thread|Why is it dark before the dawn?|Dark before the dawn||And I won't wait for you|And I won't blame you|But the way that you're making me hurt |Makes me want to give up on you|Why you keep me hanging on?||We stood at the lighthouse|Wind blowing around us|Looking down at the bay|The stars lit up for us|High off the danger|And my heart in your hands|Now I now I|I see the light||Why you keep my hanging on?|You keep me hanging on by a thread|Why is it dark before the dawn?|Dark before the dawn||And I won't wait for you|And I won't blame you|But the way that you're making me hurt |Makes me want to give up on you|Why you keep me hanging on?||
