Island lyrics

[Verse 1]
Could I leave it out
If I wanted to forget?
We could make a home
From the pieces we have left

[Pre-Chorus]
You were an island
I could see you in the crowd
You were an island
I could always go

[Chorus]
You were bright
I could hardly hold your gaze
You were
Like the bleeding light of day

[Verse 2]
I didn't know then
What I don't know now
Show me the cheat sheet
And I'll pass it 'round

[Pre-Chorus]
You were an island
I could see you in the crowd
You were an island
I could always go
You were an island
I could see you in the crowd
You were an island
I could always go
[Chorus]
You were bright
I could hardly hold your gaze
You were
Like the bleeding light of day
You were
Like the cliffs across the bay
You were
As relentless as the waves

[Outro]
You were
You were, you were
You were
You were, you were
You were
You were, you were
You were
You were, you were
You were
You were
