Islands Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here

[Verse 2]
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look

[Chorus]
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
See what I've done

[Verse 3]
That bridge is on fire
Go back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave

[Verse 4]
Where would I be
If this were to go under?
It's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make
[Chorus]
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
I am yours now (I am yours now)
So now I don't ever have to leave (Ever have to leave)
I've been found out (I've been found out)
So now I'll never explore

[Outro]
See what I've done

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
