Island Lights lyrics

Somehow,

We have to make a start,

Should make it back before the dark.

And somehow,

We have to go on apart.

The island lights are turning on.

We have to move forwards

And fight our tears.

We have to keep going

Or we'll stay right here.

We'll be right here

Till the morning comes.

We'll be right here

Till the morning comes.

You are my song and my silence,

The only one I confide in.

You were my sun, and this winter never thaws.

And nothing seems to grow here,

Nothing seems to grow here anymore.

Right now,

Standing the way we are,

The island lights look just like stars.

Someday,

When someone else has your love,

We won't come here anymore.

We have to move forwards

And fight our fears.

We have to keep going

Or we'll stay right here.

We'll be right here

Till the morning comes.

We'll be right here

Till the morning comes.

But you are my song and my silence,

The only one I confide in.

You were my sun, and this winter never thaws.

And nothing seems to grow here,

Nothing seems to grow here anymore.

Blame it on those cold and lonely winter days,

Blame it on the clouds for always bringing rain,

Blame it on the sky for why I feel this way.

It's funny how the season never seems to change.

But you are my song and my silence,

The only one I confide in.

You were my sun, and this winter never thaws.

Nothing seems to grow here anymore.

Nothing seems to grow here anymore.
