Higgins, Missy - Torchlight Lyrics






Torchlight on their shadows
Daylight to the black
I've been holding onto something but I'm giving it back

If I could reach out to you dear
If I could reach back over time
Well I would hold you and tell you that one day we'll be alright

But some times people let you down
And sometimes evil is a quiet town
Where nobody wants to hear your truth
And nobody's wants to believe you
But I do, I do and someone out there will too

Torchlight in a locked room
Unwind and untangle this mess
If I could go back I'd hide you somewhere they would never guess
Cause you're a blank page right now
But they'll cover you in ink and black your heart out
If anybody tells you not to tell, don't listen

'Cause sometimes people let you down
And sometimes the wrong kings are crowned
And nobody wants to see the truth
And nobody wants to believe you
But I do, I do and someone out there does too
Torchlight on you

Unwind and untangle this mess
Unwind and untangle this mess
Unwind and untangle this mess

And hold on tight we're gonna drag the dark into the torchlight

    Torchlight on their shadows
    Daylight to the black
    I've been holding onto something but I'm giving it back

    If I could reach out to you dear
    If I could reach back over time
    Well I would hold you and tell you that one day we'll be alright

    But some times people let you down
    And sometimes evil is a quiet town
    Where nobody wants to hear your truth
    And nobody's wants to believe you
    But I do, I do and someone out there will too

    Torchlight in a locked room
    Unwind and untangle this mess
    If I could go back I'd hide you somewhere they would never guess
    Cos you're a blank page right now
    But they'll cover you in ink and black your heart out
    If anybody tells you not to tell, don't listen

    'Cos sometimes people let you down
    And sometimes the wrong kings are crowned
    And nobody wants to see the truth
    And nobody wants to believe you
    But I do, I do and someone out there does too
    Torchlight on you

    Unwind and untangle this mess
    Unwind and untangle this mess
    Unwind and untangle this mess

    And hold on tight we're gonna drag the dark into the torchlight

  11. C.... L....

    So much love ♡☆

  12. E.... C....

    This made me teary eyed. I liked your songs since 2009, although at that time I felt like I was the only one listening to you 'cause when my friends hears your songs playing in my car, they asked whom I am listening to. But they eventually liked your songs too because it's relatable and it just like listening to a story or poem. It connects to your listeners heart. Thanks for making beautiful music. As usual a beautiful song from a beautiful soul. Thank God you are so back! Missed you much. Much love from General Santos City, Philippines.❤️❤️❤️

  13. i.... h....

    Finally she is back, took too long...beautiful

  14. E.... M....

    <3 heartwrenching

  15. b.... ....

    A big fat congrats to you and Dave xx

  16. R.... M....

    Thank you Missy...always an honour to be part of your music

  17. a.... ....

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this song

  18. a.... ....

    This is your Magnum Opus.....im speechless

  19. M.... M....

    just a gorgeous piece of music.

  20. �.... �....

    I'm so happy you are making music again!! This makes my heart happy. Your music is so healing.

  21. h.... ....

    You bring me to tears , I love your words, your music honest and brave. Thank you

  22. B.... ....

    I am SO glad she's back. I really hope she'll come tour near (well 3 hours away at most) me. I nearly cried listening to this song. So wonderful.

  23. R.... D....

    Superb!

  24. L.... R....

    yay. i missed your amazing voice and talent.

  25. Z.... P....

    More mature sound....Love it... Rich!

  26. J.... I....

    Oh missy higgins, you re hands down the best on this planet. No artist can amount to you.

  27. J.... I....

    Cant get enough of u. U never dissapoint

  28. J.... I....

    Hands down the best singer and songwriter on the whole world.

  29. M.... R....

    Gosh, Missy, you never disappoint! You're by far the best singer / composer that Aussie has ever had - hands down, no two ways. However long you choose to stay away, please keep coming back the way you always do. Australia loves you...muah! :)

  30. G.... O....

    you can't imagine how many hours a week i spend listening to Missy.

  31. G.... O....

    i am going to fill this video with me

  32. G.... O....

    Any other male singers out there find that one has to transpose Missy's songs about a tone higher then an octave down?

  33. G.... O....

    the fact that Missy doesn't fit into any genre and always has had her own style apart from the trends speaks volumes.

  34. G.... O....

    I've always imagined that Missy was younger sister i never had....

  35. G.... O....

    if only MTV would play music by people over 30 years old! Then perhaps a wider audience could hear the genius and beauty of this angel!

  36. G.... O....

    I've listened to Missy almost every day for about ten years. Unfortunately this particular song won't be on my playlist. Missy seems to have let lyrics and an insipid orchestral accompaniment lead her away from an inspired melody. Let's hope the new album doesn't follow the same pattern. You rock Missy! I don't care if this song is banal. Everything else you've done makes this slight letdown pass

    G.... O....

    Gene O'Donnell do you actually know she wrote this song for the women going through the mass inquiery behind the systematic childhood sexual abuse going on in the boarding schools etc that were run by religious groups? Maybe take another listen

  37. a.... ....

    Great, reminds me on first album.

  38. J.... L....

    What talent... to write and record a song in just under 5 minutes!

  39. T.... H....

    "But some times people let you down
    And sometimes evil is a quiet town
    Where nobody wants to hear your truth
    And nobody's wants to believe you
    But I do, I do and someone out there will too..."

    Touching lyrics! Loving it! Welcome back Missy! :D

  40. V.... m....

    felt like listening to who iam discovered her during the one tree hill days and fell in love

  41. M.... H....

    Missy Higgins could you please write a song about the lost a forgotten in the ignorant demoralising mental health system, patients who are experimented on with medications without their consent, and who are forced to take toxic medication that is destroying their minds and bodies and killing them up to 30 years earlier than everyone else, many of whom are actually victims of sexual abuse and trauma...this is a very sad fact that goes unnoticed...please shine a torchlight on the sad reality of the mental health system and what many have been through

  42. M.... H....

    Oh Oh Oh I know, how it feels, to be in so much pain, to have your whole world smashed again and again,, and the pain it goes on, and on, each and every day, I live with that pain and it breaks me every time, it breaks me, it shakes me, and no one knows, no one knows, oh oh oh, no one knows, no one knows, no one understands the pain, its so much pain, its just too much some days....thankyou for trying to help Missy Higgins whoever you are...thankyou for trying to shine a light...I am buried deep in my pain right now, but after a while I will be alright, until I remember again and again the pain strikes, oh oh oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, so much pain, so much pain, but I will pick myself up again, like I always do

  43. K.... X....

    i would lay down my life for missy i love her so much, she made me feel accepted and ok about being a gay kid growing up with depression. ill always love her and her music :')

  44. T.... R....

  48. T.... ....

    What a wonderfully sensitive anthem to to acknowledge the innocent victims left with tortured souls robbed of their childhood, betrayed and not protected. You are awesome Missy Higgins!!

  49. w.... ....

    Brave victims leading the way that led to history changing investigations such as the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Abuse.
    Many thanks Missy for your Empathy wrapped in Art.

  61. D.... C....

    Big fan but kind of drifted in and out. The lyrics were too forced which affected the flow of the melody.

    D.... C....

    agreed (even if it's painful to admit)

  62. L.... D....

    IM EMOTIONAL

  63. D.... O....

    What theatre is this, it's beautiful. x

  75. G.... �....

    Yay, you're back! I can't wait to hear new songs from you! ♡

  76. w.... ....

    Thumbs-Up #27 I am! 😀 Best way to hear this song, for me, is in isolation. The lyrics are so strong even in her calm voice. The words at the end so proper, direct and like a straight arrow fired with sure hands. . . . . .spot on. I am so glad I subscribed back when. Thank You Missy.

  77. L.... G....

    Amazing, as always!
