"Grand Island" lyrics

There's nothing stopping you
From writing this all down
You can't ask why
You just have to believe
There's nothing I can do
You're so far from me now
If I look back at all that history
I see

Such a grand island
You were my safety
Such a grand island
You would have taken me for your own

Addicted to the sky
First kin to the water
The plans we made
The time we sacrificed
I watched you as your life
Opened like a flower
Now it's too late to try
And change our minds

Such a grand island
You were my safety
Such a grand island
You would have taken me for your own

I've never seen a light in this life until tonight
I never did what's right though I tried to get it right
You gave your best to me and I gave it back to you
I needed something to believe in

Such a grand island
You were my safety
Such a grand island
Would you still take me
Such a grand island
You were my safety
Such a grand island
You would have taken me for your own
