Islands

And I liked when you turn the TV up so loud
I could lie here, just lie here awake for hours
Beneath the static sound of everything crashing down
Don't you want to stay for a while?
'Cause I could use someone like you around

She left his room when he lost his balance
And she didn't move back in again when he found it
Said, "Is it too late to change? I love you"
And she said, "You're an island, and it's not my fault
"You're in denial"

But can we slip away when
Nobody's watching if I promise
We get back before they finish talking?
The drinks you had went to your head and
You're mine again

You're just someone else now
Trying to pretend
All those things you'd say in bed never mattered
But you know they did
You're just someone else now

I liked it when he said

I liked it when he said we'd be okay
And I die, I die when you turn away
And I don't know what to say when my brother asks
Is it his? Is it hers? Are we moving house?
So I arrive home at four and I fall through the door
And I'll get up and go in the cabinet for more

If it's too hard to hear then just pretend you didn't
Or that you don't recall 'cause you had a few drinks in you

She left his room when he lost his balance
And she didn't move back in again when he found it
Said, "Is it too late to change? I love you"
And she said, "You're an island, and it's not my fault
"You're in denial"

But can we slip away when
Nobody's watching if I promise
We get back before they finish talking?
The drinks you had went to your head and
You're mine again

You're just someone else now
Trying to pretend
All those things you'd say in bed never mattered
But you know they did
You're an island

I liked it when he said

You learned to live out on the wrong side of the tracks
You're an island
And I can't stay here on my own
I can't be like this

I learned to kneel in this house
I learned not to mind it
But I can't stay
Stay

It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't want to break down but I can't take it
It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't want to break down but I can't take it
It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't want to break down but I can't take it
It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't want to break down but I can't take it
