[...you learn by the numbers
Pure hearts stumble
Losing life's wonder
In my hands they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core,
I can't hurt you anymore


...no Guiding Light left inside..]
Learn by numbers,
You're losing lifes wonder
Touch like strangers detached,
I can't feel you anymore


You were my guiding light...
Sun shine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, crushed,
Cold and confused
with no guiding light left inside.
 
You were my guiding light
 
Comfort and warmth can be found
I still reach for you
But I'm lost, crushed
Cold and confused
with no guiding light left inside
 
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
 
And there's no guiding light left inside
there's no guiding light in our lives

Description

Apparently the first song on The Resistance with a guitar solo.[2]

Recording

The song was one of the first on The Resistance described by the band before recording began, describing it as "sound[ing] a little like ‘New Year’s Day" by U2.[3]

According to a video posted by Zane Lowe prior to the release of "The Resistance", Matt said that while recording this song in Milan, the music was so loud that a neighbor came over and began banging on the door. The banging can apparently be heard near the end of the song if the drums are isolated.

[Lyrics in brackets from reviews of album]

Pure hearts stumble
In my hands they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core,
I can't hurt you anymore

Learn by numbers, 
You're losing lifes wonder
Touch like strangers detached,
I can't feel you anymore

Sun shine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, crushed,
Cold and confused
with no guiding light left inside.

You were my guiding light

Comfort and warmth can be found
I still reach for you
But I'm lost, crushed
Cold and confused
with no guiding light left inside

You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light

And there's no guiding light left inside
there's no guiding light in our lives
