Only an island
And the lonely horizon
Knows what it’s like
To be pushed by the tide
Just to pull you back in

Surrounded by water
Going nowhere but under
No one’s breaking your heart
It’s just you and the dark
To have and to hold

One glass for water
Another one for wine
Both are half empty
Most of the time
So lay down beside her
And tell her you love her
‘cause only an island
Is better alone

Too many nights spent
In this empty apartment
The pictures in boxes
The walls are all talking
Wondering where all the days went

The sound of the silence
Ain’t the only reminder
I’m counting every mistake
That I’ve ever made
And all the lies that I told

One glass for water
Another one for wine
Both are half empty
Most of the time
So lay down beside her
And tell her you love her
‘cause only an island
Is better alone

If you ever find her
Tell her you love her
‘cause only island
Only an island
Only an island is better alone
