Islands Song Lyrics

Islands by Josef Salvat

There’s only one destination
A place we all end up
But if that’s all we got in common
I’m not sure if that’s enough

And all my friends are getting married
Some are in love, most just gave up
Buying houses, starting families
And I’m just picking up

Sliding in and out of touch
Living too fast but not enough

And they say no man’s
An island but I think I am
Lying under cocaine skies
Watching as the years tick by
My mother says it’s such a shame
That I only got myself to blame
And still I’m sitting here
Just hoping that a ship will come and wreck all over me
But the way that things are going
I don’t know how long that ship is gonna be

I think it’s time to leave this city
There we go running away again
The people here are far too pretty
Sure, I got a seat at the table, but I don’t fit in

And just in case I forgot, you’re here to remind me
That once again we’re not the same at all
But the truth is if you asked then I would go blindly
I’d fall

But I’m just sliding in and out of touch
Living to hard but not enough

And they say no man’s
An island but I think I am
Lying under cocaine skies
Watching as the years tick by
My mother says it’s such a shame
That I only got myself to blame
And still I’m sitting here
Just hoping that a ship will come and wreck all over me
But the way that things are going
I don’t know how long that ship is gonna be

Oh, it’ll come eventually
Don’t worry ’bout it
Don’t worry ’bout it now
Know it will come eventually
Don’t worry ’bout it
Don’t worry ’bout
Know it will come eventually
Oh
Ooh, don’t worry ’bout it

Yeah, they say no man’s
An island but I think I am
Lying under cocaine skies
Watching as the years tick by
My mother says it’s such a shame
That I only got myself to blame
And still I’m sitting here
Just hoping that a ship will come and wreck all over me
But the way that things are going
I don’t know how long that ship is gonna be
I want someone who’ll come and reassure me
I’m exactly where I need to be
Eventually
Eventually
