Island

Took a lifetime burning bridges that I had to cross alone.
Lies were the string for all the stitches-
Words to cover these old bones.
I never thought I'd find my lighthouse-
Or safer waters I could cross.
Always runnin' from the right now-
One more drink will fill the loss.
Ohh-
I'll survive because of you.
It always felt like I was flying-
But it was just the water rising.
In all the swimming, I remember-
Her saying, "Don't you surrender."
But love, I'm tired-
But I'm still fighting-
I need your arms to-
Pull me right in-
And carry me to your island.
Hollow driftwood, worn and battered-
I'd follow every heavy storm.
And I was wrecked and I was scattered,
When I washed up on your shore.
Ohh-
You're the one who got me through.
Ohh-
I might've died if not for you.
It always felt like I was flying-
But it was just the water rising.
In all the swimming, I remember-
Her saying, "Don't you surrender."
But love, I'm tired-
But I'm still fighting-
I need your arms to-
Pull me right in-
And carry me to your island.
'Cause where you are the sun is shining-
Down on me.
On your island-
On your island-
In the struggle I'm reminded-
You were made for me.
Love, I'm tired-
But I'm still fighting-
I need your arms to-
Pull me right in-
And be my strong wind-
I can cling to-
Call the tide in-
Be my rescue.
It always felt like I was flying-
But it was just the water rising.
In all the swimming, I remember-
Her saying, "Don't you surrender."
But love, I'm tired-
But I'm still fighting-
I need your arms to-
Pull me right in-
And carry me to your island.
