It's color by numbers
I'm a pretender, I wear a smile on my face for a while
I think I'm unable, I'm undecided
Life in a glass house won't keep you alive
Do I really have to make it clear
That life's a survival, I guess I'm not fittest or else I would be
Somewhere far away from here, guess I am somewhere faraway
Cause I am an Island, you took away my oars
Now I'm left wanderin', all up and down the shore
I'm casting up flares tryin' to warm up your heart
And the stars are just memories of the days when our eyes met
Now I am an Island, Cause I am an Island
Time is abundant, Contact one sided
Is this a prison or within my reach?
When the dust has settled I put myself in this place
And even though I need outa here it's the only place I'm safe
Cause I am an Island, you took away my oars
Now I'm left wanderin', all up and down the shore
I'm casting up flares tryin' to warm up your heart
And the stars are just memories of the days when our eyes met
Now I am an Island
Your voice echo's in the trees
When the wind is on my back
I can feel it in the breeze
With a whisper it comes back to the beginning
Where our shadow was cast
And on the day that it came crashing down I could collapse
Life is lonely when its only a game
I built a wall around my heart when you stepped outa the frame
But I only have myself to blame
Cause I am an Island, you took away my oars
Now I'm left wanderin', all up and down the shore
I'm casting up flares tryin' to warm up your heart
And the stars are just memories of the days when our eyes met
Now I am an Island, Cause I am an Island
