Island - Intellectual

[Intro]

Subway recording: “This is the Brooklyn bound Q express train, the next stop is…”

[Verse 1]

I'm just a big dud, foolish from the start

I make a wrong move and the world just falls apart

And there's no cure for this disease I'm making up

So what's the fuss?

I live inside this head and I'm at war

Hero and villain, same time keeping score

And I'm not sure what I'm to do inside these walls

Not anymore, with my own life

[Chorus]

Get off the island

And swim back to shore

Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer

'Cause in these waters, I'm done for

Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all

When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small

Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?"

I'm screamin', "Danger"

Get off the island and swim back to shore

[Verse 2]

I'm just a victim of unfortunate circumstance

And this was my choice, so shit, well I'll be damned

And I've got to stop dwelling on what I could have had

All the times I could have, oh, I just want to...

[Chorus]

Get off the island

And swim back to shore

Girl, I don’t think I could last here one second longer

'Cause in these waters, I'm done for

Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all

When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small

Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?"

[Post-Chorus]

I just can't stay here any longer, help

I just can't...

[Bridge]

And maybe, one day

From your sand I'll turn away

And never see you again

Island, get off the...

[Chorus]

Get off the island

And swim back to shore

Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer

'Cause in these waters, I'm done for

Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all

When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small

Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?"

I'm screamin', "Danger"

Screamin', "Danger"
