lyrics

I'll apply to be the keeper of the lighthouse at the edge of the world
Where ocean tumbles into the stars
And a foghorn warns ships off the shoals of the void

I can talk with the sea lions when I'm not busy maintaining the lantern
Or tossing out life preservers
To catch sailors drifting out toward Saturn

If all I can do is push you away
At least I can be sure that you will be safe
If all I can do is push you away
At least I can be sure that you will be safe

I'll watch for you on the horizon while I'm standing out on the galley
With only celestial sea spray crash
And the ticking clockworks to keep me company

If all I can do is push you away
At least I can be sure that you will be safe
If all I can do is push you away
At least I can be sure that you will be safe

'Cause you can't come back, you can't come back,
You can't come back from over the edge

You can't come back, you can't come back
Trust me, trust me, trust me on that

I'll apply to be the keeper of the lighthouse at the edge of the world
Where ocean tumbles into the stars
And a foghorn warns ships off the shoals of the void

If all I can do is push you away
At least I can be sure that you will be safe
If all I can do is push you away
At least I can be sure that you will be safe
