This Island Songtext
von Floodlights

Walking through the big wide streets, how can I feel lost and lonely
There are many things that I wish I′d said to you
The allure of a dream, in the palm of a fleecing hand
Even in the blue sky, even when the sun does shine

A crisis in who you want to be, romantic nation on T.V
In naked form a coldness seeps hidden from the view
Lusting for an image but too lazy for the life
Even in the blue sky, even when the sun does shine


Fractures in my heart, I stand upon this island
A surface so enchanting, the truth so far behind
All the way out here under the cover of vastness
Beauty marbles through cold hearted bastards
A nineties dream sold to a pair of hopeful eyes
The youthful current holds out an unrelenting arm
The weight of your words float like feathers to my ears
Drooling at a vision of a motto insincere
Is there something in the water that warms our cold embrace
For I have not seen this elusive ghost we chase
I can smell it in the air
I can hear it when you talk
For all my love that glows there are equal parts unsure
What you are is different to what you do
And what you think is different to what you say
It only took a step outside to shatter the illusion of a helping hand
It only took a step outside to shatter the illusion of a helping hand
It only took a step outside to shatter the illusion of a helping hand
It only took a step outside to shatter the illusion of a helping hand

Walking through the big wide streets
How can I feel lost and lonely
There are many things that I wish I'd said to you
The allure of a dream, in the palm of a fleecing hand
Even in the blue sky, even when the sun does shine
