Todd Simon - Desert Island lyrics

[Verse 1] I had a dream that I was on a desert island I sank my ship so nobody would ever find me Then a bottle washed up on shore with a simple note written inside It said "I'm doing it for myself" Must have been written by someone just like I was Before I left the shore, before I left the shore I was sure that I was on some kind of mission Learning to stop all of the waiting and the wishing I had to chase my demons down I had to do it all on my own I had to do it far away from home And now I got nothing but a bottle left Do I return the message? When I awoke, I couldn't recall if I was lonely It's just a dream "Don't take it to heart" is what you told me [Pre-Chorus] I know you're gonna make this hard But I gotta find a way to get back to my feelings Don't want no facts, no, no I know you're gonna make this hard But I gotta find a way to get back to my feelings Don't want no facts, no, no [Chorus] Old late symphony playing on the radio Help me make the pain go Take me away, take me away Old late symphony playing on the radio Show me how to let it go Take me away, take me away [Verse 2] I remember a story I once heard about a sailor lost in the sea Inside a storm and doomed to failure As the waves crashed over the bow, he knew that he was on his own And the ship went sinking down, and now the whole ocean was home And I know the feeling [Pre-Chorus] I know you're gonna make this hard But I gotta find a way to get back to my feelings Don't want no facts, no, no I know you're gonna make this hard But I gotta find a way to get back to my feelings Don't want no facts, no, no [Chorus] Old late symphony playing on the radio Help me make the pain go Take me away, take me away Old late symphony playing on the radio Show me how to let it go Take me away, take me away [Outro] Sun down, light out, I'm gone Sun down, light out, I'm gone Sun down, light out, I'm gone Sun down, light out, I'm gone Sun down, light out, I'm gone Sun down, light out, I'm gone Sun down, light out, I'm gone Sun down, light out, I'm gone Sun down, light out, I'm gone
