Island

Lyrics

[Intro] Subway recording: "This is the Brooklyn bound Q express train, the next stop is…" [Verse 1] I'm just a big dud, foolish from the start I make a wrong move and the world just falls apart And there's no cure for this disease I'm making up So what's the fuss? I live inside this head and I'm at war Hero and villain, same time keeping score And I'm not sure what I'm to do inside these walls Not anymore, with my own life [Chorus] Get off the island And swim back to shore Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer 'Cause in these waters, I'm done for Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?" I'm screamin', "Danger" Get off the island and swim back to shore [Verse 2] I'm just a victim of unfortunate circumstance And this was my choice, so shit, well I'll be damned And I've got to stop dwelling on what I could have had All the times I could have, oh, I just want to... [Chorus] Get off the island And swim back to shore Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer 'Cause in these waters, I'm done for Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?" [Post-Chorus] I just can't stay here any longer, help I just can't stay here any longer, help I just can't... [Bridge] And maybe, one day From your sand I'll turn away And never see you again Island, get off the... [Chorus] Get off the island And swim back to shore Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer 'Cause in these waters, I'm done for Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?" Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?" Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?" I'm screamin', "Danger" Screamin', "Danger" Screamin', "Danger"
