about

Stranded on an emotional island of loss and regret leaves only one option, progress.

lyrics

VERSE 1
I'm on an island, I see ghosts of myself,
someone I thought that I knew, but now I am seeing ghosts of you.
Here on this island, a feeling that it is true,
to be my own island, I must find solitude.
On an island, this tide is coming in,
here on this island, pretty soon I'll have to swim.
On the island, running round in one place,
stuck on this island, my footsteps I retrace.
CHORUS 1
Once I thought I'd be with you, but now I know that time is though,
I tossed away that blessed day, this path I quickly loose,
but now I know you're so far away, I find my words too late to say,
I know that I love you.
VERSE 2
I'm on an island, the tide is coming in,
here on this island, pretty soon I'll have to swim.
Stuck on the island, running round in one place,
here on this island my footsteps I retrace.
CHORUS 2
Once I thought I'd be with you, but now I know that time is though,
I tossed away that blessed day, this path I quickly loose.
'Cause now I know you're so far away, I find my words too late to say,
I know that I love you.
VERSE 3
I'm on an island, I'm standing steady in the wind,
here on this island, this ocean is my friend.
On the island, today I comprehend,
that on this island, my will has to bend.
On the island, I see ghosts of myself,
someone that I thought that I knew, but now I am seeing ghosts of you.
Here on this island, there is a feeling that I know is true,
to be my own island, I found my solitude.
CHORUS 3
Once I thought I'd be with you, but now I know that time is though,
I tossed away that blessed day, this path I quickly loose.
Now I know you're so far away, I find my words too late to say,
I know that I love you. I'm on an island, to stay.
