Island.
You were an island, couldn't get to you
Sharks in the water, couldn't navigate the blue
Through the storm, tried to direct the wind
But my sails were torn, so I tried to swim
Poetry in foreign tongues I couldn't understand
Comin' from your head
Every time I tried to reach you
Arms not long enough, you say
"Where you been?"
I am right in front of you
Right in front of you
I was a desert, my tongue left words to dry
Never asked if I was thirsty or why I couldn't cry
Sand filled my shoes so I couldn't walk away
And the island that I loved,
A mirage out in the bay
Poetry in foreign tongues I couldn't understand
Comin' from your head
Every time I tried to reach you
Arms not long enough, you say
"Where you been?"
I am right in front of you
Right in front of you
Right in front of you
Right in front of you
Sharks in the water, couldn't navigate the blue
Through the storm, tried to direct the wind
But my sails were torn, so I tried to swim
Poetry in foreign tongues I couldn't understand
Comin' from your head
Every time I tried to reach you
Arms not long enough, you say
"Where you been?"
I am right in front of you
Right in front of you
I was a desert, my tongue left words to dry
Never asked if I was thirsty or why I couldn't cry
Sand filled my shoes so I couldn't walk away
And the island that I loved,
A mirage out in the bay
Poetry in foreign tongues I couldn't understand
Comin' from your head
Every time I tried to reach you
Arms not long enough, you say
"Where you been?"
I am right in front of you
Right in front of you
Right in front of you
Right in front of you
