Island

This to say the things too hard to say

you know my way

it's just my way

restless, tense, and shifting in my seat

changing times fight bottom lines fight dreams

and darlin' you won't hear my voice tonight

even that is held just out of reach

i know... no one sees us making this

i feel it, and see it in their eyes

but i won't lose sleep, if when they see you they don't see me

i won't mind

all i've seen and known i would make ours

but for each thing that blesses, more leave scars

baby, we could just stay home tonight

i found some softness in a world this hard

but if you should wake one day to find

you don't see yourself as mine

if you should need to leave my side

you'd leave a better man behind

if you should wake one day to find

you don't see yourself as mine...

like and island in a sea of failing coals

a fire that never dies before it's grown

for just another soul that's come in from the cold

seeking shelter from the coming storms

i know, that no one sees us making this

i feel it, and see it in their eyes...

but i won't lose sleep, if when they see you they can't see me

i won't mind...

but if you should wake one day to find

you don't see yourself as mine

if you should need to leave my side

you'd leave a better man behind

if you should wake one day to find

you don't see yourself as mine

if you should need to leave my side...

you'd leave a better man behind.
