Lyrics
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.
There's only one destination
A place we all end up
But if that's all we got in common
I'm not sure if that's enough
And all my friends are getting married
Some are in love, most just gave up
Buying houses, starting families
And I'm just picking up
Sliding in and out of touch
Living too fast but not enough
And they say no man's an island, but I think I am
Lying under cocaine skies
Watching as the years tick by
My mother says it's such a shame
That I only got myself to blame
And still I'm sitting here just hoping that a ship could come and wreck all over me
But the way that things are going I don't know how long that ship is gonna be
I think it's time to leave the city
There we go, running away again
The people here are far to pretty
Sure, I got a seat at the table but I don't fit in
And just in case I forgot
You're here to remind me
That once again we're not the same at all
But the truth is, if you ask then I would go blindly
I'd fall
But I'm just sliding in and out of touch
Living too hard but not enough
And they say no man's an island, but I think I am
Lying under cocaine skies
Watching as the years tick by
My mother says it's such a shame
That I only got myself to blame
And still I'm sitting here just hoping that a ship will come and wreck all over me
But the way that things are going I don't know how long that ship is gonna be
Oh, it will come eventually
Don't worry 'bout it
Don't worry 'bout it now
No, it will come eventually
Don't worry 'bout it
Don't worry 'bout
No, it will come eventually, oh
Ooh, don't worry 'bout it
Ooh
Yeah, they say no man's an island, but I think I am
Lying under cocaine skies
Watching as the years tick by
My mother says it's such a shame
That I only got myself to blame
And still I'm sitting here just hoping that a ship will come and wreck all over me
But the way that things are going I don't know how long that ship is gonna be
I want someone who come and reassure me I'm exactly where I need to be
Eventually
Eventually, mmm
