I’m an island in the ocean
free and I belong to no-one
At the mercy of the sea
the waves play like a symphony
crashing in from all directions

Ships pass and planes fly over
looks like they’re speeding fast
but going nowhere
and they never seem to notice me
no time for new discovery
trying to reach their destination

‘cause you can go anywhere you want
and you can be whatever you wanna be
you can do anything, do anything want
but don’t you forget about me

Stranded out here in the open
walking in the wrong direction
in a lonely world of fantasy
don’t give up so easily
try to make a new connection

I can feel it coming, feel it everywhere
a kinda strange sensation, something in
the air, a million words could never
fill a last goodbye so
give me one more night
