Islands

Written by: Ben Taylor

I'm an island 
Everyone can see that I'm an island 
I've got ocean just about 
Everywhere that I can see 

So I'll be stranded unless you come to me 
And I'm lonely

I would rather fall from grace completely, 
than let you change my mind
I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun.

Can't be too careful 
About the friends you keep around you 
Some won't ever let you down 
Some who'll fail you every day?

And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy 
It enrages me 

But I would rather fall from grace completely, 
than let you change my mind 
I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun.

I'm an island 
Can't you understand me I'm an Island 
And I'm finally by myself 
The way I've got to be 

Now that's exactly the thing that's been killing me 

I would rather fall from grace completely, 
than let you change my mind 
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun 
I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
