David Yazbek, Sherie Rene Scott - Island lyrics
[David Yazbek, Sherie Rene Scott - Island lyrics]
I wanted exactly what you did
An island for two in the clouds
With gas and electric included
Floating above all the noise of the city
Away from the traffic and crowds
Happily cast away, sleeping 'til noon
We bobbed and we laughed on our mattress raft
In our bedroom lagoon we bathed in the moon
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Was it washed away? Where did it go?
I thought I saw it here yesterday
Now suddenly it's drowning in saltwater
You wanted the same thing that I did
An island with closet space to spare
But now that it seems you've decided
To pack up a suitcase and swim for it
I think I'm becoming aware
Of an unfamiliar feeling of
Falling through the floor
It all looks the same but
Nothing's the same as before
Like the names on our door
Where do they go where do they go
When they disappear?
Where is the red dot on the map
That says "you are here?"
Hard to find your way surrounded by saltwater
You dance on the sand the way we did
You know that a step has to miss
I thought I knew just what we needed
It's funny how everything looks
Different through saltwater
The thing about islands is this
The important thing to know
Before you have landed
An island with two can be paradise
With one you're just shipwrecked and stranded
Where do you go?
How do you swim in a tidal wave?
What do you do?
When do you know that you can't be saved?
Where do I go?
I wish you'd tell me 'cause I forget
Up in the clouds?
Up with the smoke from your cigarette?
Where do I go?
An island for two in the clouds
With gas and electric included
Floating above all the noise of the city
Away from the traffic and crowds
Happily cast away, sleeping 'til noon
We bobbed and we laughed on our mattress raft
In our bedroom lagoon we bathed in the moon
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Was it washed away? Where did it go?
I thought I saw it here yesterday
Now suddenly it's drowning in saltwater
You wanted the same thing that I did
An island with closet space to spare
But now that it seems you've decided
To pack up a suitcase and swim for it
I think I'm becoming aware
Of an unfamiliar feeling of
Falling through the floor
It all looks the same but
Nothing's the same as before
Like the names on our door
Where do they go where do they go
When they disappear?
Where is the red dot on the map
That says "you are here?"
Hard to find your way surrounded by saltwater
You dance on the sand the way we did
You know that a step has to miss
I thought I knew just what we needed
It's funny how everything looks
Different through saltwater
The thing about islands is this
The important thing to know
Before you have landed
An island with two can be paradise
With one you're just shipwrecked and stranded
Where do you go?
How do you swim in a tidal wave?
What do you do?
When do you know that you can't be saved?
Where do I go?
I wish you'd tell me 'cause I forget
Up in the clouds?
Up with the smoke from your cigarette?
Where do I go?
