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, Ill forget you, at least Ill try to
Time to move on cause thats what I do
Im my own man, Im an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I cant get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave that crashes in
And tares me down again
Im 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 whats behind me
I gotta get some place where you cant find me
Cause Im my own man, Im an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I cant get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave that crashes in
And tares me down again
Ive been stranded for a while
Girl, my biggest fear
Is I could sail a million miles and Id still be right here
Im my own man, Im an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But theres no getting over you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave that crashes in
And tares me down again
Im an island
I came down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
