Desert Island Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a dream that I was on a desert island
I sank my ship so nobody would ever find me
Then a bottle washed up on shore with a simple note written inside
It said "I'm doing it for myself"
Must have been written by someone just like I was
Before I left the shore, before I left the shore
I was sure that I was on some kind of mission
Learning to stop all of the waiting and the wishing
I had to chase my demons down
I had to do it all on my own
I had to do it far away from home
And now I got nothing but a bottle left
Do I return the message?
When I awoke, I couldn't recall if I was lonely
It's just a dream
"Don't take it to heart" is what you told me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're gonna make this hard
But I gotta find a way to get back to my feelings
Don't want no facts, no, no
I know you're gonna make this hard
But I gotta find a way to get back to my feelings
Don't want no facts, no, no
[Chorus]
Old late symphony playing on the radio
Help me make the pain go
Take me away, take me away
Old late symphony playing on the radio
Show me how to let it go Take me away, take me away

[Verse 2]
I remember a story I once heard about a sailor lost in the sea
Inside a storm and doomed to failure
As the waves crashed over the bow, he knew that he was on his own
And the ship went sinking down, and now the whole ocean was home
And I know the feeling

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're gonna make this hard
But I gotta find a way to get back to my feelings
Don't want no facts, no, no
I know you're gonna make this hard
But I gotta find a way to get back to my feelings
Don't want no facts, no, no

[Chorus]
Old late symphony playing on the radio
Help me make the pain go
Take me away, take me away
Old late symphony playing on the radio
Show me how to let it go
Take me away, take me away
[Outro]
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
Sun down, light out, I'm gone
