Lyrics

[00:03.32] Love' lay me down;
[00:34.30] Slay me with whispers-
[00:37.74] Reassure me that it's alright.
[00:42.06] I' I hit the deck;
[00:44.49] I hit rock bottom'
[00:49.74] But you saw me' then you caught me.
[00:51.62] Shining like a ray of hope'
[00:53.74] Swift like a turning sea'
[00:55.37] Angel to comfort me-
[00:56.93] Cradling my head in your hands.
[00:59.68] I looked up at the sun and the fog cleared-
[01:02.93] I saw you.
[01:07.68] And I want you' and that's so terrifying.
[01:11.06] And I want you to help put out the fire.
[01:23.93] 'Cause I am an island'
[01:26.99] And you are the ocean-
[01:31.43] And all of my sadness'
[01:33.80] Taken by the sea.
[01:49.37] Fall' I took a fall;
[01:52.12] I took it easy.
[01:55.68] On the surface I was perfect-
[01:59.42] But down' way down below'
[02:02.11] I started believing-
[02:05.68] I deserved it' was I worthless?
[02:09.37] Sinking like a rescue boat' washing right over me-
[02:12.24] Vessel is struggling;
[02:15.55] Waving both my hands in the air.
[02:17.80] Then the blindness of love;
[02:19.62] Then your arms all around me.
[02:24.74] And I want you' and that's so terrifying.
[02:32.87] And I want you to help put out the fire.
[02:42.43] 'Cause I am an island'
[02:43.62] And you are an ocean-
[02:46.80] And all of my sadness'
[02:51.37] Taken by the sea.
[02:57.24] And I want so much to believe
[03:02.68] That I won't disappear in the water.
[03:06.74] That I won't always be swimming against the tide.
[03:09.74] Ohh...
[03:10.24] And I want you' is that so terrifying?
[03:35.93] And I want you to help put out the fire' oh.
[03:49.24] 'Cause I am an island'
[03:52.93] And you are an ocean-
[03:57.36] And all of my sadness'
[03:58.99] Taken by the sea-
[04:02.86] The sea.
[04:05.36] Well I am an island' oh-
[04:08.86] But you are the ocean-
[04:13.11] And all of my sadness'
[04:15.36] Taken by the sea.
