I'm an Island

I came down here a year ago I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away I took you at your word that night When you said get out of my life I left, you staid, I’ll forget you, at least I’ll try to Time to move on ‘cause that’s what I do I’m my own man, I’m an island Nobody tells me what to do But I can’t get away from you In this ocean of your memory Wave by wave that crashes in And tares me down again I’m an island The sun sets on another day I sit and drink and waste away in this old beach town Everybody here is so laid back I pretend to be like that But every song still reminds me what’s behind me I gotta get some place where you can’t find me ‘Cause I’m my own man, I’m an island Nobody tells me what to do But I can’t get away from you In this ocean of your memory Wave by wave that crashes in And tares me down again I’ve been stranded for a while Girl, my biggest fear Is I could sail a million miles and I’d still be right here I’m my own man, I’m an island Nobody tells me what to do But there’s no getting over you In this ocean of your memory Wave by wave that crashes in And tares me down again I’m an island I came down here a year ago I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
