Islands

Some men are islands proud of the wreckage on their shores

They're laughing, smiling, crushing ships upon approach

Who needs a harbor when you've got a rock to throw?

The water takes you slowly

Out on the ocean, lonely tenders of the grave

Shunning devotion, think they're stronger than the waves

Who needs an anchor when you've got hot air to blow?

The water takes you slowly

I don't want to watch you drown

But it's gonna be so hard to feel bad for you

I don't wanna be around, but I might wanna know

Out where the land ends, broken pieces in the sea

Better abandoned, floating free from anything

Who needs connection when alone is all you know?

The water eats you slowly

I don't want to watch you drown

But it's gonna be so hard to feel bad for you

I don't wanna be around

But I might wanna know (might wanna know)

Might wanna know (might wanna know)

I might wanna know (might wanna know)

Yeah, I might wanna know
