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
