Islands

You've got me seeing way too far ahead
I'm coming from a place I understand
But only passing through
Bring me in close
I'm a part-time ghost
A clue
That you know (oww)
Throw me right in
I'm living like an island
You bottled lightning
And poured it in the stream
Almost out of touch
Falling down
We've been moving backwards, baby
Can we turn it around?
Been watching all the waves go rolling by
Just waiting like a statue trapped inside
But only passing through
Falling in time
You're a chorus line
A clue
That you know
Throw me right in
I'm living like an island
You bottled lightning
And poured it in the stream
Almost out of touch
Falling down
We've been moving backwards baby
Can we turn it around?
We've been moving backwards baby
Can we turn it around?
Take this all
This all
This all away
There's no use wasting
It all
It all
It all away
Almost out of touch
Falling down
We've been moving backwards baby
Can we turn it around?
