Reese Lansangan - Islands Lyrics

Don’t you come back here asking me why
I’ve spent nights bleeding myself dry
I’m fighting beasts I’m climbing trees and towers
I’m whole, alive, and breathing that’s what matters

I want to hold you but my body’s moving away
Gotta let you go oh…
But when I do my mind just keeps on finding a way to you again
Self-control won’t help me so don’t come running back

If you don’t mean to stay
Just stay away, don’t come back

Empty hands
Knees to the ground better watch me pray
That I won’t give my honesty away
‘Cause when I say “be gone” my stubborn tounge is faking
My heart won’t echo sounds my mouth is making

And I want to hold you but my body’s moving away
Gotta let you go oh…
But when I do my mind just keeps on finding a way to you again
Self-control won’t help me so don’t come running back

If you don’t mean to stay
Just stay away, don’t come back
If you don’t mean to stay
Just stay away, don’t come back

Saying goodbye to the islands that we named
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling my name

Don’t you come back here asking me why
I’m whole, alive and breathing that’s what matters
I’ve spent nights bleeding myself dry
I’m whole, alive and breathing that’s what matters
I’m fighting beasts I’m climbing trees and towers
I’m whole, alive and breathing that’s what matters
I’m fighting beasts I’m climbing trees and towers
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Oh the ocean is calling
