Islands Lyrics - The Blessed Unrest - Sara Bareilles

Waiting for the bus stop 

Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down 

Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground 

I'm ready for the sea change 

Helpless felt this coming from a mile away 

And now you're looking at me babe, and how we'll separate if we can 

Cause I still count on one hand the number of good men I know

It's like I'm standing on the edge with just a telephone wire 

Trying to get to you first to say the world's on fire 

Holding my breath until I know you're alright 

Because the water will only rise 

When will you realize 

You must become an island 

You must become an island 

You must become an island 

And see for yourself that that's what I am 

You always dirty up the windows 

If you keep 'em at bay that way no one's gonna surprise you by getting too close 

Anybody but me though 

You've made exceptions to you rules 

And now we're staring down truth neither one of us wants to know 

Photos 

It's like I'm standing on the edge with just a telephone wire 

Trying to get to you first to say the world's on fire 

Holding my breath until I know you're alright 

Because the water will only rise 

When will you realize 

You must become an island 

You must become an island 

You must become an island 

And see for yourself the horizon is all we have 

And see for yourself the horizon is all we have 

Holding my breath until I know you're alright 

Because the water will only rise...
