Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You open my eyes, help me remember

Outside it's July, my head's in December

It's bad for my health

I'm tired of lying to myself

[Verse 2]

I needed a friend to throw me a lifeline

Remember to lend, not to keep taking all the time

Gotta move on

Stop chasing something I don't want

[Chorus]

I'm leaving the island

I'm leaving the island behind me

Back to the main land

Back to my family

And the people who love me

[Instrumental]

The waves will rise, the rain will pour

I keep my eyes fixed on the shore

[Instrumental]

I'm leaving the island

I'm leaving the island behind me

Back to the main land

Back to my family

And the people who love me
