It's always a struggle |
| To let somebody go |
| It's a natural desire |
| To own your lover, I know |
And you can screw a man down |
| Until he takes to drinking |
| He'll give you all of his money |
| You still won't know what he's thinking |
Take me to the fantastic place |
| Keep the rest of my life away |
| Take me to the fantastic place |
| Keep the rest of my life away |
Take me to the island |
| I'll watch the rain over your shoulder |
| The streetlights in the water |
| The moment outside of real life |
I never could dream while I was sleeping |
| Put your arms around my soul |
| And take it dancing.. |
Take me to the fantastic place |
| Keep the rest of my life away |
| Take me to the fantastic place |
| Keep the rest of my life away |
Take me to the island |
| I'll watch the rain over your shoulder |
| The streetlights on the wet stone |
| The moment outside of real life |
Say you understand me |
| And I will leave myself completely |
| Forgive me if I stare |
| But I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes |
Take me to the island |
| I'll tell you all I never told you |
| The boy I never showed you |
| More than I gave in my life |
| Take me by the hand |
| You'll either kill me or you'll save me |
| Take me to the island |
| Show me what might be real life |
