I Am An Island Lyrics - Singles - The Good Life

Mostly I sleep it off 

It's easier in the morning 

To shrug off the evening's 

Drunken pathetic pleas 

'Cause the night's tragic rambling 

Is the next day's apologies 

So if you can sit tight 

'Till the sun hits the blinds 

We can settle everything, oh no 

Turning on a dime 

I just can't trust my instincts 

One day my heart beats with passion 

The next it waxes back 

If I seem a little callused 

I assure you it's just a scratch 

So if you can hold on 

'Till the mood swings are gone 

Then we might just have a chance, oh no 

Baby, I quit, I just can't fake it anymore 

I'm a dull, jaded, selfish, abusive 

Dysfunctional fuck-up 

I needed to be rescued 

I'm stranded on myself 

And I can't escape from this island I made 

I'm afraid I never will, oh no
