Island

from Outro by Emilie Kahn

/

about

"In the early stages of this record I threw out a bunch of songs that I decided weren’t good enough and in my despair daydreamed about dropping everything and disappearing to an island; instead I wrote this and everything opened up." - Emilie Kahn

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

Just the luck of the draw, I guess
I’m no better than all the rest
But you told me I was special
Shouldn’t have said I was special at all

So I’ve given it thought
I should just go away to an island
I’ll disappear
You’ll never have to think of me again
Oh please tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m fine
Say it’s all good, I’ll be alright
Tell me you want me to stay forever

Just the way things are meant to be, I guess
Got no sway on my destiny, I guess you could say
But I can’t make sense of every time you pick me up and you put me down
Every time you take me back and then you throw me out
I can’t make sense, I can’t make sense of it

So I’ve given it thought
I should just go away to an island
I’ll disappear
You’ll never have to think of me again
Oh please tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m fine
Say it’s all good, I’ll be alright
Tell me you want me to stay forever

Oh please say you forgive me
Can we just go back to the way it was?
Can we just go back, can we just go back to the way it was?

Cause I’ve given it thought
I should just go away to an island
I’ll disappear
You’ll never have to think of me again
I know I’m right, know I’ll be fine and it’s all good
I just need to get away from everyone I’ve ever met

So I’ve given it thought
I should just go away to an island
I’ll disappear
You’ll never have to think of me again
I know I’m right, know I’ll be fine and it’s all good
I just need to get away from everyone I’ve ever met

But tell me you want me to stay and I’ll forget all of this
