James Lyrics by Fatherson

I Am an Island

2010

So stop all this fighting
I'm not even worth it
Running my mouth means
I don't even deserve it
Making my new friends, while missing my old ones
I smile politely, now the damage is done

When I first came here, I thought I'd have a problem
Moving away from home, make me wanna stay
When I first came here, I thought I'd have a problem
Moving away from home, make me wanna stay

So wake me up before you go, at least let me say
Goodbye James

So stop all this fighting
I'm not even worth it
Running my mouth means
I don't even deserve it
Making my new friends, while losing my old ones
I smile politely, now the damage is done

When I first came here, I thought I'd have a problem
Moving away from home, make me wanna stay
When I first came here, I thought I'd have a problem
Moving away from home, make me wanna stay

So wake me up before you go, at least let me say

So go home, sober up, take the weight off your feet and just chill
So go home, sober up, take the weight off your feet and just chill
So go home, sober up, take the weight off your feet and just chill
So go home, sober up, take the weight off your feet and just chill

So wake me up before you go, at least let me say
So wake me up before you go, at least let me say

So go home, sober up take the weight off your feet and just chill
So go home, sober up, take the weight off your feet and just chill
So go home, sober up, take the weight off your feet and just chill
So go home, sober up, take the weight off your feet and just chill
