Islands Lyrics by SHELLS

Forgotten Tapes - EP

2022

[Verse 1]
Cross the way, blues and blacks
Hide the cracks that the roses made
Overplayed
At his hands, holding skies
Over Badlands where we have stayed
Roads we've paved

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't keep this up
And I'm wondering what would you tell us

[Chorus]
Rebuild bridges out of rivers
And castles from sand
We are islands underwater
So I understand
Ooh, ooh, so I understand
Ooh, ooh, so I understand

[Verse 2]
Float away, hide till day
Stars will hold themselves anyway
They can wait
Shimmer gold, they grow old
Sometimes we must fold
Wе can wait

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't keep this up
And I'm wondering what would you tell us

[Chorus]
Rebuild bridgеs out of rivers
And castles from sand
We are islands underwater
So I understand
Ooh, ooh, so I understand
Ooh, ooh, so I understand

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't keep this up
And I'm wondering what would you tell us

[Chorus]
Rebuild bridges out of rivers
And castles from sand
We are islands underwater
So I understand
Ooh, ooh, so I understand
Ooh, ooh, so I understand
