Love' lay me down;
Slay me with whispers-
Reassure me that it's alright.
I' I hit the deck;
I hit rock bottom'
But you saw me' then you caught me.
Shining like a ray of hope'
Swift like a turning sea'
Angel to comfort me-
Cradling my head in your hands.
I looked up at the sun and the fog cleared-
I saw you.
And I want you' and that's so terrifying.
And I want you to help put out the fire.
'Cause I am an island'
And you are the ocean-
And all of my sadness'
Taken by the sea.
Fall' I took a fall;
I took it easy.
On the surface I was perfect-
But down' way down below'
I started believing-
I deserved it' was I worthless?
Sinking like a rescue boat' washing right over me-
Vessel is struggling;
Waving both my hands in the air.
Then the blindness of love;
Then your arms all around me.
And I want you' and that's so terrifying.
And I want you to help put out the fire.
'Cause I am an island'
And you are an ocean-
And all of my sadness'
Taken by the sea.
And I want so much to believe
That I won't disappear in the water.
That I won't always be swimming against the tide.
Ohh...
And I want you' is that so terrifying?
And I want you to help put out the fire' oh.
'Cause I am an island'
And you are an ocean-
And all of my sadness'
Taken by the sea-
The sea.
Well I am an island' oh-
But you are the ocean-
And all of my sadness'
Taken by the sea.
