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
