Loved by numbers,  
Loved by numbers,  
You're losing life's wonder
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers detached
Touch like strangers; detached
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore

You were my guiding light
You were my guiding light


And comfort and warmth can't be found
When comfort and warmth can't be found
I still reach for you
I still reach for you
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold, and confused
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold, and confused

When there's no guiding light in our lives
There's no guiding light in our lives

Description

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

Recording

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.

In an interview, Dom said that while recording the snare drum in the field of sheep, the mics were close to a river so each time he plays the snare drum in the song, the river can be heard along with it.

Lyrics

Impure hearts stumble
In my hands they crumble
And fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore

Loved by numbers, 
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers; detached
I can't feel you anymore

There's sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold, and confused
With no guiding light left inside

You were my guiding light

When comfort and warmth can't be found
I still reach for you
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold, and confused
With no guiding light left inside

You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When there's no guiding light left inside
When there's no guiding light in our lives
