Young the Giant – Islands Lyrics 13 years ago
I think this could be about unrequited love.

A boy falls in love with a girl, and he really wants to be with her and get close to her but she doesn't let him in. She is an "island", all by herself; alone.

The part about "five days" could be how fast it took him to fall in love with her, and "have you missed my warmth" could be that they never got to have a relationship, and he's saying does she miss what could've been, had she let him in.

Beautiful song, by the way. One of my top three favorite off this album.
