lyrics

I could’ve been a shipwreck, darling
I was sinking fast
Caught a storm out at sea
I let the lightning
Oh the lightning
Came crashing down on me

Now I strip off the wreckage
And I dive back in
Catch my breath as I breach
I see your shoreline
I need your lifetime
Of love to wash over me

I swim through the night ink
I’m chasing waves
Ghost a glimpse of your precious face
You’re my lighthouse
You guide me
You guide me through the gloam

Your heart, oh your heart awakens me
Your heart, oh your heart is saving me

I crawl up the sandbar
I claw my way
Hope holds me in your precious gaze
You’re my lifelight
You shine on
You shine me to your door

You invite a shadow
Of a wayward man
Into your heart and home
You’re my firelight
You warm me
You warm me at your hearth

I was lost and weary
Scared and alone
But you were my shelter through the storm
You are my sanctuary
You are my glory
You glow with love and hope

Your heart, oh your heart awakens me
Your heart, oh your heart is saving me
