We Are Islands

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I never knew fire ever burned so long

I've learned a lot from you, but lessons still grow old

I've lost the only light that ever guides me home

When it gets so cold

We are like islands, lost in the ocean

Caught in the silence, without emotion

We are like islands, nothing surrounds me

I'm holding on now, and I won't let go

We close our eyes and dance

Burn to the strength of our heartbeat

So let's burn it out, let's burn it out

Let's burn it to the ground

We close our eyes and dance

Burn to the strength of our heartbeat

So let's burn it out, let's burn it out

Let's burn it to the ground

I never thought that we could ever go this far

You are the only one that's ever shared my love

We let the good thing go and then we lost our way

When it gets so cold

We are like islands, lost in the ocean

Caught in the silence, without emotion

We are like islands, nothing surrounds me

I'm holding on now, and I won't let go

We close our eyes and dance

Burn to the strength of our heartbeat

So let's burn it out, let's burn it out

Let's burn it to the ground

We close our eyes and dance

Burn to the strength of our heartbeat

So let's burn it out, let's burn it out

Let's burn it to the ground

We are, we are, we are

We are like islands

We are, we are, we are

We are like islands

One night is all we have

And I wanna waste it all on you

So let's burn it out, let's burn it out

Let's burn it to the ground

We close our eyes and dance

Burn to the strength of our heartbeat

So let's burn it out, let's burn it out

Let's burn it to the ground

We close our eyes and dance

Burn to the strength of our heartbeat

So let's burn it out, let's burn it out

Let's burn it to the ground
