Story Behind The Song

Song about being marooned on a desert island inspired by Cast Away juxtaposed with Joe vs. The Volcano.

Song Description

The speaker is fantasizing about living on an island, and doesnt want to wake up and realize that it's just another work day. Song as a major change about 2/3 through that is significantly different, made to create the sense that the singer/speaker has woken up from a day-dream and is back in reality.

Lyrics

Sunlight
baking on a beach
Can't I sleep just through rush hour
no place that i'd rather be
it's a fantasy I simply cannot reach

Calmly staring out to sea
reminds me of when I was a young boy
Sink or swim, take off with me
I need somewhere to recharge my batteries soon.

and if you need to get off
I can help you get off

Don't listen
I need your love
so we can eat your heart ache
Don't restart it
I need to run
So I can ease back into it

And you barely noticed

Moonlight skipping off the sea
its so bright i can hardly see
or maybe it's the glow from the screen, (it) takes its toll on me
I need somewhere to catch up
on my sleep soon.

and if you need to get off
I can help you get off

Don't listen
I need your love
so I can eat your heartache
Don't restart it
I need your love
So I can ease back into it

---

and you didn't survive
you live on a island
try to find some peace

wasted your life
digging a diamond
out of a mountain peak

you can't deny
there's something inside you
that has got to be freed

it's just your luck
you won't find it
and there's nothing you can do about it
about it
there's nothing you can do about it
about it
there's nothing you can do about anything
about it
there's nothing you can do about anything
about it
there's nothing you can do about it.
