the former fat boys - i was an island lyrics

i was an island

man
not an island
i never said goodbye and
i don’t even know
you alive?
i stopped believing i’d still breathe in
barely hanging on
waves crashing around me
feet in the sand
i always wanted to live at the beach
here i stand
what did i do with my last year?
smoke the weeds that grow and sit here
funny how life just goes on and on
even if everything stops
i could have existed alone anywhere
but this island prison
monotonous walls of waves
endlessly crashing every day
whoosh
i tried to escape
at first it consumed me
like i consumed that barrel of rum
that i grabbed in the dark sea that saved my life
or i thought it did
before it tried to k!ll me
hey, i got thirsty
i tried to build a raft
signal with smoke
hard to keep that up
day after day when alone
so over and over, sunset, sunrise, rain or shine
+ and it rains a lot here +
i thought of the last thing i said to you as you left
so dumb
i guess you got the sp+ce you said you needed
and i have all the time in the world to replay it
you know that saying
“if you got trapped on an island and could only bring…”
well, i did and i got to bring everything
but everything? not enough with no one
no one to love, with all of the stuff but
no one to point to the sun above
setting over the most breathtaking horizon
so dumb
losing you? my greatest fear
now i have an island of everything
and i can’t wish you here
i don’t think i can live as an island for another year
sorry, but
i can’t do this for another year
