There's nothing stopping you from writing this all down You can't ask why, you just have to believe There's nothing I can do, you're so far from me now If I look back at all that history I see Such a grand island You were my safety Such a grand island You would have taken me for your own Addicted to the sky first kin to the water The plans we made, the time we sacrificed I watched you as your life opened like a flower Now it's too late to try and change our minds Such a grand island You were my safety Such a grand island You would have taken me for your own I've never seen a light in this life until tonight I never did what's right though I tried to get it right You gave your best to me and I gave it back to you I needed something to believe in Such a grand island You were my safety Such a grand island Would you still take me Such a grand island You were my safety Such a grand island You would have taken me for your own
