Island

Stavesacre

this to say the things too hard to say
you know my way
it's just my way

restless, tense, and shifting in my seat
changing times fight bottom lines fight dreams
and darlin' you won't hear my voice tonight
even that is held just out of reach

i know... no one sees us making this
i feel it, and see it in their eyes
but i won't lose sleep, if when they see you they don't see me

i won't mind
all i've seen and known i would make ours
but for each thing that blesses, more leave scars
i found some softness in a world this hard
but if you should wake one day to find
baby, we could just stay home tonight
if you should need to leave my side

you'd leave a better man behind
you don't see yourself as mine
if you should wake one day to find
you don't see yourself as mine...

for just another soul that's come in from the cold
like and island in a sea of failing coals
seeking shelter from the coming storms
a fire that never dies before it's grown

i know, that no one sees us making this
i feel it, and see it in their eyes...
but i won't lose sleep, if when they see you they can't see me
i won't mind...
if you should need to leave my side
you don't see yourself as mine
but if you should wake one day to find
you'd leave a better man behind
if you should wake one day to find
if you should need to leave my side...
you don't see yourself as mine
you'd leave a better man behind
