[Verse 1] I have walked into a hundred walls just trying to dance around you I turned your eyes to crystal balls the second that I found you Funny how fast we forget Yeah, yeah [Verse 2] There's poetry in me, for you, I temper it a little You just wanna rub my back, baby, I speak to you in riddles ’Cause I know you like it like that [Pre-Chorus] I was leaving in your driveway and I almost came clear I almost stopped looking in my rear-view mirror 'Cause I wanna be delivered Yeah, I wanna be delivered [Chorus] I've been stranded too long on your island I fear that I learned to survive in silence Smiling at everyone I’ve forgotten my mother tongue [Verse 3] I wear something that's revealing, but'll cover all the scars I know you hate the sight of blood, even safe inside my heart Count on me, I will protect you [Pre-Chorus] They must've paid three hundred bucks for those shades I got some just like 'em, now we've got it made But I wanna be delivered Will I ever be delivered? [Chorus] I've been stranded too long on your island I fear that I learned to survive in silence Smiling at everyone I've forgotten my mother tongue [Bridge] Well, I dreamed I was waving my arms in the sky I grabbed onto the leg of some strange passerby I said, "You look so familiar compared to this place Won’t you please take me (Take me), take me (Take me), take me (Take me) Take me away?" [Chorus] I’ve been stranded too long on your island I fear that I learned to survive in silence Smiling at everyone I've forgotten my mother tongue Oh, I’ve been stranded too long on your island What's mine is yours, what's yours is mine The glass is broken and we are on But I've forgotten my mother tongue
