Lyrics

Island Walking

I could never see your eyes And I can't see past the lies Which is why I still long for us In the meantime, here comes the chorus I know you like your own kind And that pulls me out of line Which is why I get drunk to make up for a long time When I'm drunk and I feel fine, yeah I feel fine
