Lyrics: Tom Basden
Music: Tom Basden
You open my eyes, help me remember
Outside it's July, my head's in December
It's bad for my health
I'm tired of lying to myself
I needed a friend to throw me a lifeline
Remember to lend, not to keep taking all the time
Gotta move on
Stop chasing something I don't want
I'm leaving the island
I'm leaving the island behind me
Back to the main land
Back to my family
And the people who love me
The wavะตs will rise, the rain will pour
I keep my eyะตs fixed on the shore
I'm leaving the island
I'm leaving the island behind me
Back to the main land
Back to my family
And the people who love me
