Lyrics

Somebody's Island

It's just enough to be somebody's island
It's just enough to keep everything held down
I could've just left you dancing on your own
I could've just run, but I didn't know where to go

You set me off then you watch me fall down
You pick me up then you carry me so low
I could've just left you dancing on your own
I could've just run, but I didn't know where to go

And I'm gonna leave this world
In a silver balloon
Onto the unknown climbs
Follow the signs for the moon
There's a heart laying unloved
And the sea is coming in
So let's leave them, leave them, yeah

It's just enough to be somebody's island
It's just enough to keep everything held down
I could've just left you dancing on your own
I could've just run, but I didn't know where to go
