If I'm a desert,

My face is the wind

I know where I'm going

And I know where I've been

You're the horizon and the wide open space

And I surround you caressing your face



There's not a limit to the things that I'd do

I'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do

You're like the lava burning buried below

An eruption but too early to show



We are islands

Hear our sirens

And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)



'Cause when pressure heightens 

Our coal makes diamonds 

And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)

We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)



The flood comes shifting the soil

Our blood runs thicker than oil

It's like erosion cutting straight to the core

No human nature ever felt this before



And we become an unbreakable vow

I wanna hold you up, higher than most

Because it feels like flying out



We are islands

Hear our sirens

And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)



'Cause when pressure heightens 

Our coal makes diamonds 

And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)

We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)

(Wait, down, in front of me)



We are islands

Hear our sirens

And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)



'Cause when pressure heightens 

Our coal makes diamonds 

And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)

We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)



Wait, down, in front of me.

Wait, down.
