Islands (Acoustic Version)
Don't you come back here asking me why
I've spent nights bleeding myself dry
I'm fighting beasts
I'm climbing trees and towers
I'm whole, alive, breathing
That's what matters
I want to hold you
But my body's moving away, hmmm
Gotta let you go
Oh
But when I do my mind just keeps on
finding a way to you again
Self-control won't help me so
don't come running back
Back...
Back
If you don't mean to stay
Just stay away, don't come back
Back...
Back
Empty hands
Knees to the ground
Better watch me pray
That I won't give
my honesty away
'Cause when I say "be gone"
My stubborn tongue is faking
My heart won't echo sounds
my mouth is making
And I want to hold you
But my body's moving away, hmmm
Gotta let you go
Oh
But when I do my mind just keeps on
finding a way to you again
Self-control won't help me so
don't come running back
Back...
Back
If you don't mean to stay
Just stay away, don't come back
Back...
Back...
Back...
Back
If you don't mean to stay
Just stay away, don't come back
Back...
Back...
Saying goodbye to the islands
that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth
that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the islands
that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth
that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the islands
that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth
that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the islands
that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth
that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Don't you come back
here asking me why
I'm whole, alive, breathing
That's what matters
I've spent nights
bleeding myself dry
I'm whole, alive, breathing
That's what matters
I'm fighting beasts
I'm climbing trees and towers
I'm whole, alive, breathing
That's what matters
I'm fighting beasts
I'm climbing trees and towers
Bye to the earth
that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling...
I've spent nights bleeding myself dry
I'm fighting beasts
I'm climbing trees and towers
I'm whole, alive, breathing
That's what matters
I want to hold you
But my body's moving away, hmmm
Gotta let you go
Oh
But when I do my mind just keeps on
finding a way to you again
Self-control won't help me so
don't come running back
Back...

If you don't mean to stay
Just stay away, don't come back

Gotta let you go
Oh
But when I do my mind just keeps on

Self-control won't help me so
