It's color by numbers I'm a pretender I wear a smile on my face for the ride I think I'm unable I'm undecided Life in a glass house won't keep you alive
Do I really have to make it clear? Oh that life's a survival I guess I'm not fittest or else I would be ... Somewhere far away from here Guess I am somewhere far away
Cause I am an island You took away my oars Now I'm left roamin' All up and down the shore I'm casting up flares tryin' to warm up your heart And the stars are just memories of the days when our eyes met Now I am an island Cause I am an island Cause I am an island And the stars are just memories of the days when our eyes met Now I am an island
Time is abundant Contact one sided Is this a prison or within my reach? When the dust has settled I put myself in this place And even though I need outta here it's the only place I'm safe
Cause I am an island You took away my oars Now I'm left roamin' All up and down the shore I'm casting up flares tryin' to warm up your heart And the stars are just memories of the days when our eyes met Now I am an island
Your voice echoes in the trees When the wind is on my back I can feel it in the breeze With a whisper it comes back to the beginning where our shadow was cast And on the day that it came crashing down I could collapse Life is lonely when it's only a game I build a wall around my heart when you stepped outta the frame But I only got myself to blame
Cause I am an island You took away my oars Now I'm left roamin' All up and down the shore I'm casting up flares tryin' to warm up your heart And the stars are just memories of the days when our eyes met Now I am an island Cause I am an island Cause I am an island And the stars are just memories of the days when our eyes met Now I am an island Cause I am an island I am an island I am an island
