[Verse 1]
My memory hangs like the stained glass of the saints
Past history I buried deep, Saint Anthony
I hear that he can help me find the things I need
Alaska winters pray for end of summer days
But the sun won't go away
Just like me, I'll bet they really want to change

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can run as far as London
But my past has first class seats

[Chorus]
The lighthouse lost its beam
Now all I see
Is the face of the cliffs between the moonlight waxing
I fear for my life
That the current tonight
Is stronger than the will that I have to survive

[Post-Chorus 1]
(So breathe, you're alive)
So breathe, you're alive (So breathe, you're alive)

[Verse 2]
Is it just me
Or do you wonder if we're put here just to see
How much heartache we can take
Without hanging from the tallest tree?
I feel as lonely as a preacher's wife
My heart's a Russian night
I drink to try to melt the ice
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The Cold War in my mind
The truth hides between the lines

[Chorus]
The lighthouse lost its beam
Now all I see
Is the face of the cliffs between the moonlight waxing
I fear for my life
That the current tonight
Is stronger than the will that I have to survive

[Post-Chorus 2]
So breathe you're alive
Breathe you're alive

[Bridge]
Because we'll make it through this
No matter the odds
All bets are on
It's always darkest just before the dawn

[Chorus]
The lighthouse lost its beam
Now all I see
Is the face of the cliffs between the moonlight waxing
I fear for my life
That the current tonight
Is stronger than the will that I have to survive
The lighthouse lost its beam
Now all I see
Is the face of the cliffs between the moonlight waxing
I fear for my life
That the current tonight
Is stronger than the will that I have to survive
[Outro]
(So breathe you're alive)
So breathe you're alive (So breathe you're alive)
