I'm an Island
I came down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
I took you at your word that night
When you said get out of my life
I left, you stayed
I'll forget you, at least I'll try to
Time to move on 'cause that's what I do
I'm my own man, I'm an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I can't get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave, it crashes in
And tears me down again
I'm an island
The sun sets on another day
I sit and drink and waste away in this old beach town
Everybody here is so laid back
I pretend to be like that
But every song still reminds me what's behind me
I gotta get some place where you can't find me
'Cause I'm my own man, I'm an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I can't get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave, it crashes in
And tears me down again
I've been stranded for a while
Girl, my biggest fear
Is I could sail a million miles and I'd still be right here
I'm my own man, I'm an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But there's no getting over you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave, it crashes in
And tears me down again
I'm an island
I came down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
I took you at your word that night
When you said get out of my life
I left, you stayed
I'll forget you, at least I'll try to
Time to move on 'cause that's what I do
I'm my own man, I'm an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I can't get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave, it crashes in
And tears me down again
I'm an island
The sun sets on another day
I sit and drink and waste away in this old beach town
Everybody here is so laid back
I pretend to be like that
But every song still reminds me what's behind me
I gotta get some place where you can't find me
'Cause I'm my own man, I'm an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I can't get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave, it crashes in
And tears me down again
I've been stranded for a while
Girl, my biggest fear
Is I could sail a million miles and I'd still be right here
I'm my own man, I'm an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But there's no getting over you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave, it crashes in
And tears me down again
I'm an island
I came down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
