"Island" lyrics

Could I leave it out
If I wanted to forget?
We could make a home
From the pieces we have left

You were an island
I could see you in the crowd
You were an island
I could always go

You were bright
I could hardly hold your gaze
You were
Like the bleeding light of day

I didn't know then
What I don't know now
Show me the cheat sheet
And I'll pass it 'round

You were an island
I could see you in the crowd
You were an island
I could always go
You were an island
I could see you in the crowd
You were an island
I could always go

You were bright
I could hardly hold your gaze
You were
Like the bleeding light of day
You were
Like the cliffs across the bay
You were
As relentless as the waves

You were
You were, you were
You were
You were, you were
You were
You were, you were
You were
You were, you were
You were
You were
