lyrics

Dreamt I was an island, dreamt I was a beach
all loud and quiet sometimes out of reach
dreamt I was a postcard wishing you were here
with no one to send it to
there I was the desert, there I was the sea
underneath forever, kinda out of reach
the places that you go when there’s nowhere left to be
Any minute now I’ll be bursting at the seams
God if you’re there and you really love me, won’t you leave me the island dream
Dreamt I was a man that I just couldn’t be
I’m a little bit of love and barely out of reach
then I was an island I saw in a magazine
I see myself there
Any minute now I’ll be rolling down the stream
God if you’re there and you love me, won’t you give me the island dream
Saw myself in a magazine
Any minute now
I’ll be rowing down the stream
If you listen real quiet, I’m an island, I’m a beach
Sometimes if you love me, leave me out of reach
I swear I won’t lie I saw myself in a magazine, god help me
