The Island

I wanna know why you're so bold

You asked me to wait on my dreams

I've played a dozen crowdless shows

And none that you've ever seen

I'll never be your second option

You don't have to choose

I'm standing on the island alone

The clouds are heavy and the water is cold

But in the end your heart can atone

Cause win or lose, my motto

I'll be standing on the island all alone

I heard you finally had a good day

My songs will bring you to tears

I'm never meant to be your burden

But thank God your conscience is clear

I'll never be your second option

You don't have to choose

I'm standing on the island alone

The clouds are heavy and the water is cold

But in the end your heart can atone

Cause win or lose, my motto

I'll be standing on the island all alone

Standing on the island all alone

I wish I could count on you to show up

Keep my head above water while the winds are rough

And I hope it's okay that I'm not enough

For you to fill with pride and be there for my show tonight

You're feeling tired and that's okay

You don't have to show no more

I have to prepare for my next big thing

Like a gig or a tropical storm

I'll never be your second option

You don't have to choose

I'm standing on the island alone

The clouds are heavy and the water is cold

But in the end your heart can atone

Cause win or lose, my motto

I'll be standing on the island all alone

Standing on the island all alone

Standing on the island all alone

Standing on the island all alone
