Island Lyrics by HOAX

The Truth and Other Lies - EP

2017

[Verse 1]
I've been an addict for over-dramatics
Stuck on a habit of irony
Now she keep on asking
"Why you never happy?"
Baby don't be sappy
You know that shit ain't real
But I see God in laughter
And happy ever afters
Just another phrase that gets lost on me
So take some time to notice
You ain't got to know this
Shit for sure when you're 23

[Chorus]
So come on
Oh baby, you’re an island
So let me crash, land like a pilot
Tell me what to do like Simon
You could have it all, like
I give it up, like
Oh baby, you’re an island
So let me crash, land like a pilot
Tell me what to do like Simon
We could have it all, like
I give it up, like
I give it up, like

[Verse 2]
Waves, crashing in the hearts that break
Fallin’ into new escapes
Longing for what you can't explain
Tell me what you won't say
When it's all in the "yesterdays"
So we beat on, boats away
Past the current
Borne ceaselessly into our mistakes

[Chorus]
You’re an island
So let me crash, land like a pilot
Tell me what to do like Simon
And you could have it all, like
I give it up, like
Oh baby, you’re an island
So let me crash, land like a pilot
Tell me what to do like Simon
And we could have it all, like
I give it up, like
I give it up, like

[Bridge]
Flowers from the jungle
Shower head at night
We should both be quiet
Save ourselves the fight
‘Cause people keep on talking
They could say what they like
(What they like)
Your flowers from the jungle
Your flowers --

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you’re an island
So let me crash, land like a pilot
Tell me what to do like Simon
And you could have it all, like
I give it up, like
Oh baby, you’re an island
So let me crash, land like a pilot
Tell me what to do like Simon
And we could have it all, like
I give it up, like

Come on
Oh baby, you’re an island
So let me crash, land like a pilot
Tell me what to do like Simon
And you could have it all, like
I give it up, like
Oh baby, you’re an island
So let me crash, land like a pilot
Tell me what to do like Simon
And we could have it all, like
I give it up, like
I give it up, like
