It's color by numbers
I'm a pretender
I wear a smile on my face for the ride

I think I'm unable,
I'm undecided
Life in a glass house won't keep you alive

Do I really have to make it clear?
Oh that life's a survival
I guess I'm not fittest, or I would be
Somewhere far away from here
Guess I am somewhere
Far away

Cause I am an ISLAND,
You took away my oars
Now I'm left roamin'
All up and down the shore
I'm casting up flares
Tryin to warm up your heart
And the stars are just memories
Of the day when our eyes met
Now I am an ISLAND
Cause I am an ISLAND
Cause I am an ISLAND
And the stars are just memories
Of the day when our eyes met
Now I am an ISLAND

Time is abundant,
Contact one-sided
Is this a prison or within my reach?
When the dust has settled,
I put myself in this place
And even though I need outta here,
It's the only place I'm safe

Cause I am an ISLAND,
You took away my oars
Now I'm left roamin'
All up and down the shore
I'm casting up flares
Tryin to warm up your heart
And the stars are just memories
Of the days when our eyes met
Now I am an ISLAND

Your voice echoes in the trees,
When the wind is on my back
I can feel it in the breeze
With a whisper it comes,
Back to the beginning,
Where our shadow was cast
And on the day that it came crashing down,
I could collapse

Life is lonely when it's only a game,
I built a wall around my heart,
When you stepped outta the frame
But I only got myself to blame

Cause I am an ISLAND,
You took away my oars
Now I'm left roamin'
All up and down the shore
I'm casting up flares
Tryin to warm up your heart
And the stars are just memories
Of the days when our eyes met
Now I am an ISLAND
Cause I am an ISLAND
Cause I am an ISLAND
And the stars are just memories
Of the days when our eyes met
Now I am an ISLAND
Cause I am an ISLAND
I am an ISLAND
I am an ISLAND
