I'm an island 

Everyone can see that I'm an island 

I've got ocean just about 

Everywhere that I can see 



So I'll be stranded unless you come to me 

And I'm lonely



I would rather fall from grace completely, 

than let you change my mind

I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun.



Can't be too careful 

About the friends you keep around you 

Some won't ever let you down 

Some who'll fail you every day?



And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy 

It enrages me 



But I would rather fall from grace completely, 

than let you change my mind 

I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun.



I'm an island 

Can't you understand me I'm an Island 

And I'm finally by myself 

The way I've got to be 



Now that's exactly the thing that's been killing me 



I would rather fall from grace completely, 

than let you change my mind 

And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun 

I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
