Islands

Don't you come back here asking me why
I've spent nights bleeding myself dry
I'm fighting beasts
I'm climbing trees and towers
I'm whole, alive, breathing
That's what matters

I want to hold you but my body's moving away
Gotta let you go, oh
But when I do my mind just keeps on finding a way to you again
Self-control won't help me so don't come running back
Back, back
If you don't mean to stay
Just stay away, don't come back
Back, back

Empty hands
Knees to the ground
Better watch me pray
That I won't give my honesty away
'Cause when I say "be gone" my stubborn tongue is faking
My heart won't echo sounds my mouth is making

And I want to hold you but my body's moving away
Gotta let you go, oh
But when I do my mind just keeps on finding a way to you again
Self-control won't help me so don't come running back
Back, back
If you don't mean to stay
Just stay away, don't come back
Back, back
Back, back
If you don't mean to stay
Just stay away, don't come back
Back, back

Saying goodbye to the islands that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the islands that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the islands that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the islands that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name

Don't you come back here asking me why
(Bye to the islands that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name)
I'm whole, alive, breathing
That's what matters
(Bye to the earth that we have claimed
