“Island is very much the beginning of the record. It opens with the sound of the Q Train going into Brooklyn, and that’s the train that I would frequent when going in and out of Brooklyn into Manhattan. It’s very much the beginning of my identity crisis when writing this record, too. I had a hard ti...
[Intro]
Subway recording: “This is the Brooklyn bound Q express train, the next stop is…”
[Verse 1]
I'm just a big dud, foolish from the start
I make a wrong move and the world just falls apart
And there's no cure for this disease I'm making up
So what's the fuss?
I live inside this head and I'm at war
Hero and villain, same time keeping score
And I'm not sure what I'm to do inside these walls
Not anymore, with my own life
[Chorus]
Get off the island
And swim back to shore
Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer
'Cause in these waters, I'm done for
Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small
Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?"
I'm screamin', "Danger"
Get off the island and swim back to shore
[Verse 2]
I'm just a victim of unfortunate circumstance
And this was my choice, so shit, well I'll be damned
And I've got to stop dwelling on what I could have had
All the times I could have, oh, I just want to...
[Chorus]
Get off the island
And swim back to shore
Girl, I don’t think I could last here one second longer
'Cause in these waters, I'm done for
Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small
Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?"
[Post-Chorus]
I just can't stay here any longer, help
I just can't stay here any longer, help
I just can't...
[Bridge]
And maybe, one day
From your sand I'll turn away
And never see you again
Island, get off the...
[Chorus]
Get off the island
And swim back to shore
Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer
'Cause in these waters, I'm done for
Now, give me one good reason to stay here, at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small
Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?"
Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?"
Where's my lifesaver when I'm screamin', "Danger?"
I'm screamin', "Danger"
Screamin', "Danger"
Screamin', "Danger"
