Leave This Island

Have you ever been compelled
Under a spell
From a protagonist who knows he fought too well?
Have you ever been undone
By a slip of the tongue
and betrayed a side of you that felt hard won?
So we watch the water swell
From a Scottish hotel
Have you ever fell?
Have you ever fell?[Chorus]Are you gonna tell me why
There's a backpack by the bedroom window
It's a pack of lies
Everything has to reach a peak sometime
Tell me why
There's a map laid flat on the bedside table
It's a pack of lies
It's not a peak, it's a plateau
Let me know
When you wanna leave this island
Let me know
When you wanna hear my point of viewIn the observation lounge
Couples ready to pounce
But there's a reticence from treading icy ground
So we watch the water swell
From a Scottish hotel
Have you ever fell
Have you ever fell[Chorus]I'll stand up for youI will act as a semaphore
I will guide you to a perfect landing
I will act as a distant shore
I will aim to be the last man standing for you
I will act as a semaphore
I will guide you to a perfect landingI'll stand up for you
I'll stand up for you
When you wanna leave this island
When you wanna hear my point of view
